Bonang Goongerah

Bonang and Goongerah are both sparsely populated areas in East Gippsland. Bonang has more people working or looking for work, and its typical weekly family income is far higher at $1,562 compared to $724 in Goongerah. Housing differs greatly; 85.7% of Bonang homes have three or more bedrooms and are more often owned outright, while Goongerah has a far higher share of renters and more people living alone. Goongerah is far more diverse in birth place, with 12.9% born overseas compared to no one in Bonang.

Both areas are essentially identical in that every home is a separate house and no one has access to a park, school or public transport within a 15-minute walk. This shared isolation is mirrored in their similar personal incomes and the same proportion of adults with a bachelor degree. Despite these commonalities, health and social trends vary, with Goongerah seeing far higher rates of volunteering and mental health conditions.
