Melbourne - Inner is much younger and more diverse, with 35.9% of people born overseas and a typical resident aged 34. In contrast, Latrobe - Gippsland has a far older population, with a typical age of 46 and a much higher share of seniors at 24.8%. Education and income levels also differ sharply; 51.4% of adults in Melbourne - Inner hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 14.9% in Latrobe - Gippsland.
