Corangamite Golden Plains

Golden Plains and Corangamite are both regional Victorian areas, but they differ in age and accessibility. Residents are far older in Corangamite, where the typical age is 48 compared to 39 in Golden Plains. Local amenities are also more accessible in Corangamite, where 51.8% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, whereas only 15.3% are in Golden Plains. Golden Plains stands out for its First Nations community, with household incomes far higher at $2,333 and a Year 12 completion rate that is 14 points higher than in Corangamite.

Since 2011, some of these gaps have shifted as the two areas have tracked differently. The age gap has widened, with Corangamite becoming relatively older, and the typical monthly mortgage payment is now far higher in Golden Plains by $650. However, the difference in rental rates has narrowed slightly. Despite these trends, the two areas remain very similar in some ways, such as their shared levels of First Nations population and the proportion of people working from home.
