Maffra Rosedale

Maffra and Rosedale are two nearby Victorian areas with a few striking differences. Maffra is the larger of the two, with a population of 14,756 and more residents who are older—the typical person is 43, and 22.9% are aged 65 and over. It is more walkable, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, groceries, and health services. Rosedale is smaller, with a typical age of 39 and a higher share of people born overseas. There is a sharp contrast in First Nations outcomes; First Nations residents in Maffra are far more likely to have completed Year 12 (35.9%) compared to 20.0% in Rosedale.

Both areas are very similar in their typical weekly personal incomes, which sit close to the national figure. They also share a similar proportion of people using other languages at home and have nearly identical typical monthly home-loan payments of $1,300. While the gap in people born overseas has narrowed since 2011, the difference in people with no religion has widened, with Maffra now well higher in this measure.
