Knox Unincorporated Vic

Unincorporated Vic and Knox are two very different Victorian areas. Unincorporated Vic is sparsely populated and far younger, with a typical resident aged 30 compared to 40 in Knox. It is also more likely to be a place of single-person households, with 37.2% of people living alone against 21.2% in Knox. Knox is far more suburban, where 84% of homes have three or more bedrooms and 33% of residents were born overseas, compared to just 15.1% in Unincorporated Vic.

Both areas share a similar level of overall advantage and have a typical weekly personal income that sits around the same mark. Despite these similarities, the gap between them is widening in several areas. Since 2011, the difference in age has grown, and the gap in the share of people born overseas has more than doubled. While Unincorporated Vic is more likely to be a place where people walk to work, Knox is much more reliant on cars.
