Casey Yarra Ranges

Casey and Yarra Ranges are two large outer-metropolitan areas in Victoria with very different social profiles. Casey is far more culturally diverse, with 42.1% of people born overseas and 41.8% using a language other than English at home, compared to 16.8% and 8.0% in Yarra Ranges. There is also a stark difference in religious views; no religion is far higher in Yarra Ranges at 53.9%, while only 28.6% of Casey residents identify this way. Casey has grown more quickly, with 12.3% population growth since 2021, and is more mobile, with far more people moving house in the last five years.

These two areas share very similar typical weekly household incomes of around $1,900 and similar levels of higher education. However, the gaps between them have often widened over time. The difference in the share of people born overseas and those using other languages at home has grown since 2011, as has the gap in home ownership, with homes owned outright being far higher in Yarra Ranges.
