McEwen Scullin

Scullin and McEwen are nearby Victorian areas with very different layouts and populations. Scullin is very walkable and highly diverse, with 41.4% of people born overseas and 50.9% using a language other than English at home. It is much more connected, with a typical walk to public transport taking only 1 minute. In contrast, McEwen is mostly car-dependent and more sparsely settled, with a typical commute to the city of 59 minutes. Incomes are also higher in McEwen, where the typical weekly household earns $2,094 compared to $1,671 in Scullin.

Since 2011, these two areas have drifted further apart in some ways while remaining similar in others. The gap in overseas births and home languages has widened, and McEwen has become much more likely to have residents with no religion. Despite these shifts, the areas track closely in other areas; they share the same typical resident age of 36 and almost identical proportions of adults with university degrees. Both also sit near the national figure for typical weekly rent, with Scullin at $369 and McEwen at $381.
