Cardinia has a higher share of adults working or looking for work (67.1% versus 54.1%) and more people have completed Year 12 (54.7% compared to 39.4%). In contrast, Latrobe (Vic.) has a much higher rate of people living alone (32.2%) and more residents who own their homes outright (37.4% versus 23.4%).
