Cobblebank Grangefields

Cobblebank and Grangefields are neighbouring areas in Victoria that offer very different lifestyles. Cobblebank is a growing hub for young families, where the typical resident is 29 and 32% of the population are children under 15. It is also more culturally diverse, with 48.4% of people born overseas and 55.7% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Grangefields is sparsely populated and far older, with 22.7% of residents aged 65 or over. It is also a much more affordable area, where the typical weekly household income is $1,125 compared to $1,920 in Cobblebank.

Both areas are very similar in the number of people living alone and the amount of space in each bedroom. While they share these basic household patterns, they differ sharply in how they live. Cobblebank is more walkable and has far more public transport, while Grangefields is largely car-dependent. Home ownership also differs, with 66.7% of Grangefields homes owned outright, compared to only 4.7% in Cobblebank. Most of the gap in home ownership and income is matched by the fact that 81.3% of Cobblebank residents moved there in the last five years.
