Barunah Plains Rokewood

Rokewood and Barunah Plains are two nearby rural areas in Victoria with very different levels of activity. Rokewood has a larger population of 208 people and more local infrastructure, including a school and public transport. In contrast, Barunah Plains is sparsely populated with just 10 people and has no public transport or nearby schools. There is a stark difference in wealth, with typical weekly household incomes far higher in Barunah Plains at $2,999 compared to $1,286 in Rokewood.

While the two areas are far apart in wealth and services, they share similar household sizes and typical monthly home-loan payments. The gap in these daily living costs has remained relatively stable over time. Both areas are very remote from the city and are largely car-dependent, with neither area having any homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services.
