Cambrian Hill Ross Creek

Ross Creek (Vic.) and Cambrian Hill are neighbouring areas in Victoria that differ mainly in their accessibility and transport. Ross Creek (Vic.) is more connected, with a public transport route and stop, while Cambrian Hill has none. This is reflected in the walkability scores; Ross Creek (Vic.) has some amenities and park access within a 15-minute walk, whereas Cambrian Hill has none. Other notable differences include the First Nations median personal income, which is far higher in Ross Creek (Vic.) at $900 compared to $250 in Cambrian Hill, and a higher share of people working from home in Cambrian Hill at 19.7%.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, with nearly identical typical weekly household incomes of around $2,050 and the same share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (17.1%). Both areas also have similar proportions of people who completed Year 12 and a very low share of residents who use a language other than English at home. While some gaps exist, such as the higher number of people aged 65 and over in Cambrian Hill, both areas sit well below the national figure for that age group.
