Brewster Burrumbeet

Burrumbeet and Brewster are neighbouring rural areas with very different profiles. Burrumbeet is a much older community, where the typical resident is 58 and 36.9% of people are seniors. In contrast, Brewster has a younger feel, with a typical age of 45 and a much higher share of children (23.4% compared to 12.9% in Burrumbeet). Brewster also sees far more people working or looking for work (68.4% versus 49.1%) and has a typical weekly household income that is far higher at $2,124, while Burrumbeet's is $949.

Both areas are quite isolated, as neither has any homes within walking distance of parks, schools, or shops. This shared lack of local amenities is a consistent feature of life in both places. However, the gap in public transport access is wide and remains a striking difference, as Burrumbeet has several transport stops and departures per 1,000 people, while Brewster has none.
