Gippsland - East Latrobe Valley

Gippsland - East and Latrobe Valley are two Victorian regions with very different profiles. Gippsland - East is far older, with a typical resident aged 52 compared to 42 in Latrobe Valley, and it has a much higher share of seniors at 30.9%. This older population is consistent with a high rate of home ownership, as 49.1% of homes are owned outright, compared to 37.3% in Latrobe Valley. In contrast, Latrobe Valley is much more walkable and connected; far more homes are within a 15-minute walk of public transport (81.7% versus 41.5%) and groceries (52.5% versus 34.5%).

Both areas are very similar in other ways, including the share of people born overseas, those with no religion, and the percentage of residents who completed Year 12. While they share these traits, some gaps are growing. The difference in the typical age of residents has widened since 2011, as has the gap in outright home ownership. At the same time, the difference in the number of volunteers has narrowed since 2011, though Gippsland - East remains well higher at 19.2%.
