Bangholme Carrum Downs
Carrum Downs and Bangholme are neighbouring areas with very different populations. Carrum Downs is a larger hub for families, where 19.2% of people are children and the typical resident is 36. In contrast, Bangholme is sparsely populated and much older; 66.1% of its residents are seniors and the typical age is 71. These age gaps are seen in the homes too, as Carrum Downs has far more large family houses with three or more bedrooms (83.6%), while Bangholme has a much higher share of homes owned outright (75.9%).
Both areas are very similar in their unemployment rates and the share of people who speak little or no English. However, they differ across most other measures, and these gaps have grown since 2011. For example, the gap in typical weekly household income is now over $1,000, with Carrum Downs far higher. This is consistent with the higher number of young adults working or looking for work in Carrum Downs compared to the smaller, older population in Bangholme.
