Bona Vista Ellinbank

Ellinbank and Bona Vista are neighbouring rural areas in Victoria. Ellinbank has a larger population and a higher share of people born overseas (14.0% compared to 2.8% in Bona Vista). It is also wealthier, with 23.8% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, while only 8.1% do in Bona Vista. This higher income is consistent with a more qualified workforce, as Ellinbank has more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (24.9% versus 18.7%) and more people who finished Year 12.
