Bass Coast Casey

Casey and Bass Coast are two distinct Victorian areas with very different demographics. Casey is a much younger and more multicultural hub, where 42.1% of people were born overseas and 41.8% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Bass Coast is far older, with a typical resident aged 51 compared to 34 in Casey, and nearly 30% of its population is aged 65 or over. Financial profiles also differ sharply: the typical weekly household income in Casey is $1,918, which is $755 higher than the $1,163 typical in Bass Coast.

The gap in typical ages has widened since 2011, growing from 13 to 17 years. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas share similar overall advantage scores, which both sit near the national average. They also have nearly identical proportions of people working from home (around 17%) and a similar share of residents who have moved in the last five years. While Casey has far more public transport and larger schools, both areas have similar recording of offences per 100,000 people.
