Mount Alexander Pyrenees
Mount Alexander and Pyrenees are two Victorian regions with distinct social and educational profiles. Mount Alexander has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (28.7% compared to 12.1%) and more people who finished Year 12 (52.8% versus 34.8%). It is also far more likely for residents to have no religion, at 58.8%, while Pyrenees sits at 44.0%. This higher level of qualification helps explain why Mount Alexander also has a far higher share of professional workers and a higher proportion of households earning $3,000 or more a week.
Both areas have a similar share of people with a mental health condition, with figures around 11% and 12%, which are close to the national average. They also share similar family structures and home sizes, with both averaging 2.2 people per household. However, several gaps are widening; since 2011, the difference in university qualifications, Year 12 completion, and the number of people with no religion has all increased.
