Murrindindi Strathbogie

Murrindindi and Strathbogie are two rural Victorian areas with some distinct differences in infrastructure and demographics. Murrindindi has far more public transport options, with 66 stops compared to just 14 in Strathbogie, and a much higher number of weekly departures. In contrast, residents in Strathbogie are more likely to live within a 15-minute walk of a park, school or grocery store. There are also notable gaps among First Nations residents; this group is far younger in Murrindindi, where typical personal incomes are also well higher than those in Strathbogie.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, as they share almost identical shares of people using another language at home and adults with a bachelor degree. Both areas have populations that are far older than the national figure, though the gap in typical age between them has narrowed since 2011. While Murrindindi has a well higher share of people with no religion, the number of recent overseas arrivals in Strathbogie has grown closer to the level seen in Murrindindi over the last decade.
