Cobblebank Exford

Cobblebank and Exford are neighbouring areas in Victoria, but they differ sharply in population and profile. Cobblebank is a young, multicultural hub where the typical resident is 29 and 48.4% were born overseas. It is also more qualified, with 72.2% finishing Year 12. In contrast, Exford is sparsely populated and older, with a typical resident aged 39 and 15.0% of people aged 65 and over. Home ownership also varies greatly, as 35.1% of Exford homes are owned outright, compared to just 4.7% in Cobblebank.

Both areas have seen their paths diverge since 2011, especially as Cobblebank has grown. While they both consist almost entirely of separate houses and have similar household sizes, Cobblebank has become much more connected; its walkability score is mostly car-dependent, which is still far higher than the car-dependent score in Exford. This is reflected in the local amenities, as Cobblebank has far more people within a 15-minute walk of parks, schools, and groceries.
