Cardross Mildura

Mildura and Cardross are nearby Victorian areas with very different layouts. Mildura is a large, very walkable hub where 36.7% of households rent and 27.6% of the population are recent overseas arrivals. In contrast, Cardross is car-dependent, with 97.5% of homes being separate houses and a much higher share of First Nations languages spoken at 30.4%. Mildura also has significantly larger schools, with an average size of 406 students compared to 141 in Cardross.

The gap in how people live is widening, seen in the 15-point difference in those who have moved recently. However, the two areas share a similar typical resident age of 39 and almost identical typical monthly home-loan payments of $1,300. While Mildura has much more public transport and a higher share of people living alone, both areas have similar rates of full-time employment and typical weekly incomes that sit near each other.
