Bunyip Iona

Bunyip and Iona are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different profiles. Bunyip is a much larger hub where the typical resident is 38, and it has a high proportion of children under 15 at 23.0%. This helps explain why it is far more likely to have people caring for children unpaid (31.9%) and offers much better access to schools, parks and groceries. Iona is more sparsely populated and has an older feel, with a typical resident aged 47 and 24.2% of people aged 65 and over.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the typical weekly household income, which is around $1,920. They also share very similar family sizes, with an average of 2.8 people per home. While Bunyip is mostly car-dependent and has more public transport and shops, Iona is purely car-dependent. The two areas have also tracked similarly in some respects, though Bunyip has seen a much higher number of people move in over the last five years.
