Maryborough - Pyrenees Geelong

Maryborough - Pyrenees and Geelong are very different Victorian areas. Geelong is a much larger, very walkable hub where 23.9% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher and 19.2% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Maryborough - Pyrenees is a mostly car-dependent area with a much older population, where the typical resident is 50. Home ownership differs sharply; 47.7% of homes in Maryborough - Pyrenees are owned outright, which is far higher than the 32.1% in Geelong.

Many of the gaps between these two places have widened since 2011. This is especially true for the age gap, which grew to 12 years, and the difference in university qualifications, which is now 13 points. Despite these diverging trends, some parts of life remain similar. Both areas have nearly identical unemployment rates, around 4.8%, and a very similar share of First Nations residents, at about 2% in Maryborough - Pyrenees and 1.4% in Geelong.
