Arthurs Seat Dromana

Dromana and Arthurs Seat are neighbouring areas on the Mornington Peninsula with very different profiles. Arthurs Seat is a wealthier area where a far higher share of adults hold a bachelor degree (37.4% vs 18.0%) and 29.1% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 12.8% in Dromana. While Arthurs Seat consists entirely of separate houses, Dromana is more varied and has a much higher share of renters (25.2% vs 8.8%) and one-parent families (16.0% vs 3.5%).

Both areas have similar proportions of people who have served in the Defence Force and almost identical numbers of people per bedroom. They also share similar rates of people in de facto relationships and a similar amount of recent overseas arrivals. Despite these commonalities, Dromana is far more walkable and better served by public transport, whereas Arthurs Seat is car-dependent.
