Bell Park Corio

Corio and Bell Park are neighbouring areas in Greater Geelong with different profiles. Bell Park has a more qualified workforce, with 48.8% of residents completing Year 12 compared to 35.8% in Corio. It is also a more diverse and older community, where 35.9% of people use another language at home and the typical resident is 41. This contrasts with Corio, where the typical age is 35 and 42.0% of people have no religion, a figure far higher than the 28.0% in Bell Park. Corio also has more large homes, with 84.7% having three or more bedrooms.

Many everyday aspects of life are similar, such as the typical weekly household income of around $1,150 to $1,200 and an identical share of people providing unpaid care. However, the gap in access to health services is very wide, with 95.6% of Bell Park homes within a 15-minute walk of services compared to just 55.4% in Corio. This distance to essential services is a significant difference that separates these two same-type areas.
