Hepburn Loddon

Hepburn and Loddon are two Victorian areas with very different social and economic profiles. Hepburn is far more qualified, with 24.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 10.7% in Loddon. This educational gap is mirrored in the housing market, where typical weekly rents are far higher in Hepburn at $295, while Loddon's typical rent is much lower at $170. Hepburn also has a far higher share of people with no religion (52.5%) and far more frequent public transport departures per 1,000 people.

Both areas share a very similar age profile, with a typical resident aged 52. They are also alike in the proportion of people with long-term health conditions and the number of First Nations residents. Over time, the gaps between the two have generally grown; for example, the difference in high-income households and university qualifications has widened since 2011.
