Cardinia Casey

Casey and Cardinia are nearby Victorian areas with very different levels of diversity and connectivity. Casey is far more multicultural, with 42.1% of people born overseas and 41.8% using a language other than English at home. It is also much more connected, with a far higher number of public transport stops and 88.2% of homes within a 10-minute walk of transport. In contrast, Cardinia has a much higher share of people with no religion, at 44.3%, and its residents generally live further from public transport.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, as residents in both areas have a typical age of 34 and very similar weekly household incomes. They also have the same share of children under 15. While they are alike in these ways, some gaps are changing; for example, the difference in the share of people who completed Year 12 has narrowed since 2011, and the gap in volunteering rates has also decreased.
