Casey Frankston

Casey and Frankston are nearby neighbours in Victoria with very different cultural and social profiles. Casey is a young and multicultural area where 42.1% of people were born overseas and 41.8% use a language other than English at home. It is also a place of larger families, with 90.8% of homes having three or more bedrooms and a typical resident age of just 34. In contrast, Frankston has a much older population, with a typical age of 39 and a higher share of people living alone at 27.7%. Frankston is also more secular, as 50.9% of residents report no religion, compared to 28.6% in Casey.

Everyday life in both areas shares many similarities, from typical weekly family incomes of around $2,000 to nearly identical commute times to the city. However, the gap between them in some areas is growing. Since 2011, Casey has become far more linguistically diverse, and the age difference between the two has widened. Frankston also offers better walkability for daily needs, with 85.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to 66.0% in Casey.
