Banyule Whitehorse

Whitehorse and Banyule are nearby areas in Greater Melbourne with distinct profiles. Whitehorse is much more multicultural, with 41.5% of people born overseas and 40.5% using a language other than English at home. This is far higher than in Banyule, where 24.5% were born overseas and 21.8% use another language at home. Housing also differs, as separate houses are far more common in Banyule (75.9%) than in Whitehorse (64.6%).

Since 2011, these two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The gap in overseas births and home languages has widened, while the difference in the share of separate houses has also grown. Despite this, they remain very similar in other areas, such as having almost the same share of people aged 65 and over (around 18.5% to 18.8%) and a nearly identical number of people living alone.
