Geelong Grovedale - Mount Duneed

Grovedale - Mount Duneed and Geelong are neighbouring areas with very different lifestyles. Grovedale - Mount Duneed is a growing hub for families, where 85.1% of homes have three or more bedrooms and 89.9% are separate houses. This area has seen much faster population growth since 2021, rising by 15.1%. In contrast, Geelong is a more urban environment described as a walker's paradise. It has far more renters (40.2%) and people living alone (37.2%), while offering a much higher number of schools per 1,000 children.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people born overseas, at around 18%. They also share similar typical weekly personal incomes and a nearly identical proportion of people who speak a language other than English at home. While they are alike in these respects, the gap in walkability remains wide, with Geelong offering far more frequent public transport and a much shorter walk to the nearest stop.
