Coojar vs Nareen

Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 14 km apart · Coojar profile · Nareen profile

Coojar Nareen

Nareen and Coojar are both sparsely populated areas in Victoria. Nareen is much younger, with 31.6% of its people being children under 15, compared to just 10.5% in Coojar. This helps explain why Nareen has far more people caring for children unpaid (41.8%) and a higher share of people who finished Year 12 (72.7% versus 57.6%). In contrast, Coojar is wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,749, which is far higher than the $1,625 typical in Nareen.

Both areas are effectively alike in their lack of public transport and the same share of people working from home (around 34%). They also share a similar employment profile, with both having an unemployment rate of 0.0% and nearly identical shares of full-time workers. These similarities persist despite other gaps, such as the fact that people in Coojar are far more likely to have no religion (50.0% compared to 17.7% in Nareen) and are more likely to volunteer.
