Dandenong South Eumemmerring

Eumemmerring and Dandenong South are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Eumemmerring is a residential hub where many people are born overseas (52.1%) and 54.7% use a language other than English at home. It is a young area, with a typical resident aged 35 and 19.3% of the population being children under 15. In contrast, Dandenong South is sparsely populated and largely non-residential, with a much older typical resident aged 51 and no children under 15. This is reflected in the housing, as Dandenong South has a far higher share of people living alone (70.7%) and renters (69.3%), while Eumemmerring has more family homes and three-bedroom properties.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining distinct in their roles within the region. They share a similar proportion of volunteers and a nearly identical share of people earning over $2,000 a week. While Eumemmerring is very walkable and Dandenong South is somewhat walkable, both sit near the national figure for people who are volunteers. The gap in housing types remains stark, as Eumemmerring continues to be defined by separate houses and townhouses, while Dandenong South is dominated by other dwelling types.
