Altona North Newport

Newport and Altona North are neighbouring areas with a few striking differences. Newport has a higher proportion of university-qualified adults (42.2%) and people earning $2,000 or more a week (27.0%). In contrast, Altona North is more culturally diverse, with 35.1% of people born overseas and 41.2% using a language other than English at home. Newport also has a much higher share of people who report no religion (48.5%) compared to Altona North (28.9%).

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions across several measures. The gap in weekly income and the number of people working from home have both widened, while the difference in the number of overseas-born residents and those using other languages has narrowed. Despite these trends, they remain alike in many ways, such as having almost the same share of First Nations people and very similar average household sizes.
