Doreen Nutfield

Doreen and Nutfield are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different characters. Doreen is a large, young community where the typical resident is 33, and it has a high proportion of people born overseas (19.9%) and those who use another language at home (18.6%). In contrast, Nutfield is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical age of 50 and a much higher share of seniors (25.3%). This age gap is reflected in the home ownership patterns: 57.4% of Nutfield homes are owned outright, while Doreen has a much higher rate of renting (21.3%) and typical weekly rents that are far higher at $397 compared to $212 in Nutfield.

These two areas have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with Doreen seeing much more recent growth and a far higher share of people who moved in the last five years (45.2% versus 20.5%). Despite this, they share a similar level of higher education, with about 24% of adults in both areas holding a bachelor's degree or higher.
