Casey Monash

Casey and Monash are two large, nearby areas in Melbourne with very different housing and lifestyles. Casey is a family-heavy area where 22.7% of people are children under 15, and 90.1% of homes are separate houses. In contrast, Monash has a more professional feel, with 41.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 22.0% in Casey. Residents in Monash are also far more likely to work from home (31.6%) and live in a very walkable environment, while those in Casey face longer drives to the city and live in more homes with three or more bedrooms.

Both areas share a very similar typical weekly household income of around $1,900. They also have almost identical rates of people who served in the Defence Force and those needing help with daily activities. While they share these commonalities, the gap in educational qualifications has widened since 2011. At the same time, the difference in the share of people using another language at home has narrowed, as both areas remain far above the national figure.
