Murrindindi Nillumbik

Murrindindi and Nillumbik are two nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Murrindindi is much older, with a typical resident aged 50, and has a higher share of people living alone at 30.4%. Nillumbik is wealthier, with a typical household income of $2,476 per week compared to $1,287 in Murrindindi. Education levels are also far higher in Nillumbik, where 32.2% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 15.3% in Murrindindi.

Everyday life shares several similarities, as both areas have almost identical rates of unemployment and similar shares of people who speak little or no English. However, many of the gaps between them are widening. Since 2011, the income gap has grown, and Nillumbik has seen a much larger increase in people working from home. While both areas have a higher share of three-bedroom homes than the national figure, Nillumbik's lead in this area has narrowed slightly over time.
