Casey Menzies

Menzies and Casey are nearby Victorian areas with very different characters. Menzies is a very walkable place where 42.7% of people were born overseas and 44.5% use a language other than English at home. It has a highly qualified workforce, with 38.9% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Casey is more car-dependent, with a much higher share of separate houses at 93.8% and a far longer drive to the city of 67 minutes. Education levels are also lower in Casey, where 21.4% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several key measures. The gap in overseas birth and language use has widened, and Menzies has seen a significant increase in the share of people with university degrees and higher incomes. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain very similar in some ways. They have almost identical typical weekly household incomes, around $1,900, and the same number of people per home.
