Kingston Unincorporated Vic

Unincorporated Vic is a sparsely populated area where the typical resident is far younger at 30, compared to 41 in Kingston (Vic.). These two areas differ sharply in their scale and demographics: Kingston (Vic.) has a far higher share of people born overseas (31.9% versus 15.1%) and a much larger proportion of households earning $3,000 or more per week (26.9% versus 13.5%). While Unincorporated Vic has many more people who have arrived from overseas recently (43.1% versus 10.9%), Kingston (Vic.) has a far higher number of people working from home at 30.0%.

Everyday life shares some common ground in both places, as they have similar typical weekly rents of around $400 and nearly identical levels of education and job skills. They also both sit near the national figure for overall advantage. However, the gaps between them are often widening; the difference in typical age has grown since 2011, and the gap in home ownership has increased, with homes owned outright being far higher in Unincorporated Vic at 48.1%.
