Derrimut Truganina

Truganina and Derrimut are neighbouring areas in Melbourne's west, but they differ in how they are growing. Truganina is seeing a huge wave of new residents, with 57.4% moving in during the last five years compared to 28.1% in Derrimut. This growth is linked to a high number of overseas arrivals, who make up 22.1% of Truganina's population. Consequently, Truganina has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (39.4%) and a much larger average school size of 823 students.

These areas are drifting apart in their accessibility. Derrimut is more walkable, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of public transport (83.8%), groceries (61.4%), and health services (39.4%). In contrast, Truganina has lower access to these services. Despite these gaps, both areas share very similar typical weekly household incomes, sitting just over $2,100, and both have a high proportion of residents born overseas compared to the national figure.
