Casey South Gippsland

South Gippsland and Casey are two Victorian areas with very different profiles. South Gippsland has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 49 and 26.5% of people aged 65 and over. It is also less diverse, with only 11.5% of people born overseas. In contrast, Casey is much younger, with a typical age of 34, and is far more multicultural; 42.1% of residents were born overseas and 41.8% use a language other than English at home.

Both areas are similar in their overall level of advantage and have nearly identical shares of one-parent families and people working from home. While they share these traits, other gaps are widening. The age difference between the two has grown since 2011, as has the gap in home ownership, with 47.3% of South Gippsland homes owned outright compared to 22.5% in Casey.
