Kingston Casey - South

Casey - South and Kingston are two nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Casey - South is much younger, with a typical resident aged 32, while the typical person in Kingston is 41. It is also far more culturally diverse, with 42.9% of people born overseas and 43.1% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Kingston has a higher share of university graduates (31.8%) and a very walkable environment, scoring 7.8 (very walkable) compared to 5.4 (somewhat walkable) in Casey - South. This is reflected in the housing, where Casey - South is dominated by separate houses (91.4%) and large family homes, while Kingston has more apartments and townhouses.

Both areas are similar in how they fare against the national figure for typical weekly incomes, which sit around $1,960. They also share very similar rates of full-time employment and similar typical weekly rents. However, the gaps between them are often growing. The difference in typical age has widened since 2011, as has the gap in the number of people born overseas. Similarly, the divide in housing types has grown, with Casey - South becoming even more dominated by detached houses while Kingston has seen a larger shift toward higher-density living.
