Colac East Yeodene

Colac East and Yeodene are two nearby Victorian areas with very different characters. Colac East is a more diverse and older community, where 33.9% of people are aged 65 or over and 19.6% were born overseas. It is more urban in feel, with 36.4% of households renting and 61.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Yeodene is a more rural area where every home is a separate house and 100% of them have three or more bedrooms. It has a much younger senior population, with only 12.1% aged 65 or over, and more families with children.

These two areas have tracked in different directions since 2011, particularly with how people move. Colac East has seen a surge in mobility, with 46.9% of residents moving in the last five years. Yeodene is more stable, with only 21.9% moving in that time. Despite these shifts, they share some basic economic similarities, such as typical weekly household incomes that sit around $1,500.
