Werribee - South Point Cook - South

Point Cook - South and Werribee - South are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different profiles. Point Cook - South is a younger, more multicultural hub where 58.8% of people were born overseas and 32.1% are children under 15. It is also wealthier, with 38.1% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and a much higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (49.2%). In contrast, Werribee - South is more likely to have older residents, with 15.4% aged 65 and over, and a higher proportion of homes owned outright (28.8%).
