Carlton Collingwood

Carlton and Collingwood are neighbouring inner-city areas with very different profiles. Carlton is much more international, with 54.9% of people born overseas and 47.7% using a language other than English at home. It is also younger, with a typical age of 27, and far more residents live without a car (48.6%). Collingwood is wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,130 compared to $1,292 in Carlton. It also has a higher share of people in de facto relationships (27.4%) and more children, with 9.8% of the population under 15.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining well above the national figures for people who do not identify with a religion. They share a similar urban feel, with almost the same number of people per home and the same number of amenity types within a 15-minute walk. While Carlton is very walkable with a 1-minute walk to the nearest stop, Collingwood is also walkable, though the walk is longer at 5 minutes.
