Brimbank Maribyrnong

Brimbank and Maribyrnong are neighbouring areas in Greater Melbourne with very different residential and social profiles. Brimbank is far more culturally diverse, with 49.3% of people born overseas and 58.7% using a language other than English at home. It is also a place of larger homes, where 85.3% of dwellings have three or more bedrooms and 81.2% are separate houses. In contrast, Maribyrnong has a more highly qualified workforce, with 40.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, and a much higher share of high earners, with 28.4% of households making $3,000 or more a week.

These two areas share very similar school advantage scores and a nearly identical proportion of First Nations residents. However, many of the gaps between them have widened since 2011. This is seen in the growing difference in education and income, as well as the increasing divide in home ownership, with homes now far more likely to be owned outright in Brimbank. Maribyrnong has also seen a sharp rise in people working from home compared to Brimbank.
