French Island Pearcedale - Tooradin

Pearcedale - Tooradin and French Island are two very different Victorian landscapes. Pearcedale - Tooradin is a more active residential area where typical weekly household income is far higher at $1,895, compared to $1,014 on French Island. French Island is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical resident aged 52 and a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (28.1% versus 15.8% in Pearcedale - Tooradin). Education levels also differ sharply; a bachelor degree or higher is far more common on French Island (28.3%) than in Pearcedale - Tooradin (11.6%).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted apart in several key ways. While the gap in typical age has stayed the same, the difference in household income and the number of older residents have both widened. Despite these trends, they share some common ground, with almost identical typical weekly rents and a similar share of one-parent families. Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
