Bannockburn Highton

Highton and Bannockburn are nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Highton is more walkable and has a far higher share of university-educated adults (35.2% compared to 16.7% in Bannockburn). It is also a more diverse hub, with 17.3% of people arriving from overseas recently, while the same figure is just 3.5% in Bannockburn. These differences extend to local services; 89.3% of Highton homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, whereas only 14.9% of homes in Bannockburn have the same access.

Everyday life in both places shares several similarities, including nearly identical typical weekly household incomes of around $2,100 and a similar share of people with long-term health conditions. While they share these commonalities, other gaps are growing. Since 2011, the difference in the share of residents with a bachelor degree has widened, and Highton has become even more diverse as the gap in overseas births and language use has increased.
