Latrobe - Gippsland Mornington Peninsula

Mornington Peninsula and Latrobe - Gippsland are both Victorian regions with around 300,000 people, but they differ sharply in layout and wealth. Mornington Peninsula is far more connected, with 62.5% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and a typical household income of $1,604. In contrast, Latrobe - Gippsland is much more spread out, with only 41.4% of homes in such a walkshed and a lower typical household income of $1,260. Education levels are also different, with Year 12 completion far higher in Mornington Peninsula at 53.9% compared to 41.5% in Latrobe - Gippsland.

However, the gap in typical incomes has widened since 2011, and the difference in university qualifications has also grown, with more adults in Mornington Peninsula now holding a bachelor degree or higher.
