Hotham Kooyong

Hotham and Kooyong are both large residential areas in Melbourne, but they differ sharply in their makeup and wealth. Hotham is much more diverse, with 52.9% of people born overseas and 56.7% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Kooyong has a more highly qualified and wealthier population; 52% of adults there hold a bachelor degree or higher, and the typical family earns $3,113 a week, which is $1,221 more than the typical family in Hotham.

Everyday life in both areas shares several similarities, such as nearly identical rates of full-time employment and a similar share of children under 15. They also both have excellent access to public transport, with over 99% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop. However, the gaps between them have widened significantly since 2011, particularly regarding income and language diversity.
