Wantirna South Vermont

Wantirna South and Vermont are neighbouring suburbs in Melbourne's east with distinct profiles. Wantirna South is notably older, with a typical resident aged 44 and 23% of people aged 65 and over. It has a stronger infrastructure for students, with seven schools and 2.64 schools per 1,000 children, compared to Vermont's three schools and 1.32 per 1,000. Wantirna South also has more public transport departures and far more walkable amenities per resident. In contrast, Vermont has a younger feel, with 20.6% of its population under 15, and a higher share of residents with bachelor degrees (39.3%).

Everyday life in both areas is very similar in many ways. They share the same typical weekly rent of $426, an almost identical number of people per home, and similar rates of outright home ownership. While they are alike in these basics, some gaps are shifting. The difference in typical age has widened since 2011, and the share of people aged 65 and over is now well higher in Wantirna South, whereas it used to be higher in Vermont.
