Darebin Nillumbik

Darebin and Nillumbik are two nearby Victorian areas with very different characters. Darebin is a highly diverse and mobile hub where 31.4% of people were born overseas and 32.3% use a language other than English at home. It has a higher proportion of renters (38.2%) and more people living alone (30.6%). Nillumbik is more affluent and residential; 37.9% of households earn $3,000 or more a week and 93.5% of homes are separate houses. It also has a much higher rate of outright home ownership at 40.9%.

Since 2011, these two areas have drifted further apart in some ways while growing closer in others. The gap in home ownership and the share of large, multi-bedroom homes has widened, while the difference in the proportion of overseas-born residents has narrowed. They do share some common ground, such as similar levels of education and job skills, and a nearly identical share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents.
