Swan Hill Yarriambiack

Swan Hill and Yarriambiack are two large rural areas in Victoria, but they have very different populations. Residents are far older in Yarriambiack, where the typical age is 52 compared to 39 in Swan Hill. Swan Hill is much more diverse, with 16.4% of people using another language at home and a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals (34.9%) than Yarriambiack (7.5%). These two areas also differ in their housing; Yarriambiack has a much higher share of homes owned outright (56.3%), while renting is far more common in Swan Hill (28.7%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people with no religion. They also share similar levels of unemployment and typical weekly earnings for high earners. While they are alike in these ways, the gap in their age structures has widened since 2011, with Yarriambiack becoming increasingly older. At the same time, Swan Hill's role as a hub for new arrivals from overseas has grown, widening the gap in language diversity between the two.
