Corio Maribyrnong

Corio and Maribyrnong are both populous Victorian areas with distinct characters. Maribyrnong is more urban and diverse, with 28.6% of people using a language other than English at home and 35.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Corio is more residential, where 82.6% of homes are separate houses. This difference is reflected in the typical weekly household income, which is $1,956 in Maribyrnong compared to $1,530 in Corio. Maribyrnong also has a higher share of people working from home at 33.6%, while Corio's residents face a much longer drive to the city of 61 minutes.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked toward each other in several ways. The gap in university qualifications and Year 12 completion has narrowed, and the difference in the share of people born overseas has also fallen. Despite these shifting trends, they remain remarkably similar in some basics: the typical resident in both areas is 39, and the share of renters is almost identical at around 32%.
