Hobsons Bay Wyndham

Wyndham and Hobsons Bay are nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Wyndham is a young, fast-growing hub where 48.0% of people were born overseas and 49.8% use a language other than English at home. It is a place of large families, with 91.0% of homes having three or more bedrooms and a typical resident aged just 32. In contrast, Hobsons Bay is older and more established, with a typical age of 40. It is more likely to have people living alone (26.2%) and those who own their homes outright (34.7%).

The gap in the typical age of residents has widened since 2011, growing from six years to eight years. Despite this, the two areas share a similar typical weekly household income of around $2,000 and have nearly the same share of adults with a bachelor degree. They also have similar levels of full-time employment. While Hobsons Bay is very walkable and has more public transport options, Wyndham is more likely to have separate houses and larger homes.
