Hume Melbourne - Inner

Melbourne - Inner and Hume are two very different parts of Victoria. Melbourne - Inner is a high-density area where 57.3% of homes are flats or apartments and many residents are young, with a typical age of 34. It is a hub for education and global arrivals, with 51.4% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher and 35.9% born overseas. In contrast, Hume is a sprawling region where 91.6% of homes are separate houses. Residents there are far older, with a typical age of 45, and homes are larger, as 79.5% have three or more bedrooms.

Everyday life in both areas shares a similar rate of people living with a mental health condition, at around 10%. However, the two areas have drifted further apart since 2011. The gap in typical ages has widened to 11 years, and the difference in home ownership has grown, with homes owned outright far higher in Hume. While Melbourne - Inner has seen a surge in people working from home, the divide in housing and wealth between the two areas continues to increase.
