Bullarook Springbank

Springbank and Bullarook are both sparsely populated rural areas in Victoria. There are sharp differences in their populations; Bullarook is much older, with 37.7% of people aged 65 and over compared to just 11.1% in Springbank. Springbank has a much larger share of high earners, with 23.1% of households making $3,000 or more a week, while the figure in Bullarook is 10.0%. This helps explain why Springbank has a much higher share of people working from home (26.5% versus 10.5%) and far more adults working or looking for work.

These two neighbours have seen the gap in their age structures widen, with Bullarook becoming noticeably older. Despite this, they share a few basic traits, such as having the same typical weekly family income of $2,249. They are also identical in their housing styles, as every home in both areas is a separate detached house with three or more bedrooms. Both places are very far from the national figure for home ownership, with a high proportion of residents owning their homes outright.
