Cobden Elingamite North

Cobden and Elingamite North are neighbouring Victorian areas with very different profiles. Cobden is a larger hub where residents are far older, with a typical age of 51 and 28.8% aged 65 or over. This older population is linked to higher rates of long-term health conditions (37.9%) and more people living alone (33.0%). In contrast, Elingamite North is much younger, with a typical age of 35 and a higher share of children under 15 (23.7%). Elingamite North also has far higher typical weekly household incomes ($1,937 compared to $1,162 in Cobden) and significantly higher monthly home-loan payments.

Both areas are about the same distance from the city, and the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher is nearly identical in both. This shared level of qualification sits alongside a stark contrast in accessibility; Cobden is somewhat walkable with many homes within a 15-minute walk of shops and schools, while Elingamite North is car-dependent. This gap in convenience is mirrored in the housing, where every home in Elingamite North has three or more bedrooms, compared to 81.3% in Cobden.
