Chisholm Flinders

Chisholm and Flinders are nearby Victorian areas with very different characters. Chisholm is a highly diverse and urban hub where 49.7% of people were born overseas and 50.1% use a language other than English at home. It is also more qualified, with 42.1% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Flinders is more traditional and residential, with a much higher share of separate houses at 84.7% and a far older population, where the typical resident is 48.

The gap in overseas births has widened significantly since 2011, growing from a 1.5% difference to 32.6%. Despite this, the two areas share some basic commonalities, such as similar typical weekly incomes of around $734 to $745 and a nearly identical share of children under 15. Living patterns also differ sharply; Chisholm is very walkable with a score of 7.8 and a 20-minute drive to the city, while Flinders is somewhat walkable with a score of 4.7 and a much longer 55-minute commute.
