Keilor Brimbank

Brimbank and Keilor are neighbouring areas in Melbourne's west with very different profiles. Brimbank is much more diverse, with 49.3% of people born overseas and 58.7% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Keilor has a wealthier population; its typical weekly household income is $1,935, which is well higher than Brimbank's $1,494. Keilor also has a more highly qualified workforce, with a bachelor degree or higher held by 27.4% of adults compared to 19.7% in Brimbank.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people who served in the Defence Force. They also share similar family life and housing, with about 17% of their populations being children under 15 and roughly 85% of homes having three or more bedrooms. While these similarities remain, other gaps have widened since 2011, particularly in income and the number of people working from home, which is far higher in Keilor.
