Yarra Ranges Cardinia

Yarra Ranges and Cardinia are two large, nearby areas of Victoria with distinct demographics. Yarra Ranges is the older of the two, where the typical resident is 40 and 17.7% of people are aged 65 or over. It has a higher rate of home ownership, with 35.1% of homes owned outright, and far more public transport options. In contrast, Cardinia is much younger and more transient; the typical resident is 34, and 45.5% of people moved there in the last five years. This younger profile is consistent with Cardinia having a higher share of children under 15 (22.6%) and a higher proportion of people born overseas (23.5%).

The gap in home ownership has widened since 2011, with Yarra Ranges now far ahead in the share of homes owned outright. Despite this, the two areas remain very similar in other ways, such as the typical household income and the share of people who finished Year 12. Both areas also have a very high proportion of large homes, with over 84% of households in each area living in a home with three or more bedrooms.
