Red Cliffs Robinvale

Red Cliffs and Robinvale are two regional Victorian areas that differ sharply in their cultural and social makeup. Robinvale is far more diverse, with 37.7% of people born overseas and 41.7% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, only 9.3% of Red Cliffs residents were born overseas and 7.7% use another language. Red Cliffs is also more likely to be secular, with 47.2% of people reporting no religion, compared to 19.0% in Robinvale.
