Baw Baw Casey

Baw Baw and Casey are two very different Victorian regions. Baw Baw is a much older and more traditional area, where 21.5% of people are aged 65 and over and 39.2% own their homes outright. In contrast, Casey is far more diverse and younger; 42.1% of residents were born overseas and 41.8% use a language other than English at home. Casey also has a higher share of people who completed Year 12, at 61.2% compared to 45.4% in Baw Baw.

Both areas have a similar share of children under 15, which sits close to the national figure. They also share a similar level of access to money and resources and have very similar typical weekly incomes. While they are alike in these areas, the gaps in other measures are widening. For example, the difference in the number of people born overseas and those who claim no religion has both grown since 2011.
