Baw Baw Casey - North

Baw Baw and Casey - North are two very different Victorian landscapes. Baw Baw is a more traditional, older area where the typical resident is 41 and 48.7% of people have no religion. In contrast, Casey - North is much more diverse, with 40.8% of residents born overseas and 39.5% using a language other than English at home. These differences extend to the streets; Casey - North is somewhat walkable and has far more public transport, while Baw Baw is mostly car-dependent and takes much longer to reach the city.

These two areas have drifted further apart since 2011. The gaps have widened for overseas birth shares, language use, and the number of people with bachelor degrees. Despite these shifting trends, they still share some common ground. Both areas have a similar proportion of children under 15, and typical weekly personal incomes are nearly the same, at $726 in Baw Baw and $748 in Casey - North.
