Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 8.5 km apart · Cape Otway profile · Marengo profile

Cape Otway Marengo

Marengo (Vic.) and Cape Otway are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different profiles. Marengo (Vic.) is much older, with 39.3% of residents aged 65 and over, compared to 17.6% in Cape Otway. This older population is consistent with a higher rate of long-term health conditions in Marengo (Vic.) (28.7%) and far higher typical home-loan payments of $2,000. In contrast, Cape Otway is far more likely to have people earning $2,000 or more a week (18.8% versus 5.7% in Marengo (Vic.)) and has a much higher share of youth aged 15 to 24.

Both areas sit near the national figure for long-term health conditions in Marengo (Vic.) and the national typical age in Cape Otway. They also share similar patterns in other areas, such as an identical 50% share of people with no religion and nearly the same number of people per home (2.1).
