Latrobe - Gippsland Melbourne - South East

Melbourne - South East and Latrobe - Gippsland are two distinct Victorian regions with very different profiles. Melbourne - South East is a diverse, young area where the typical resident is 35 and 44.6% were born overseas. In contrast, residents in Latrobe - Gippsland are far older, with a typical age of 46 and 24.8% aged 65 and over. The two areas also differ in education and housing; Melbourne - South East has a far higher share of people who finished Year 12 (63.1%) and a very walkable layout, while Latrobe - Gippsland is mostly car-dependent and has a far higher share of homes owned outright (42.7%).
