Dorodong Lake Mundi

Lake Mundi and Dorodong are both sparsely populated areas in Victoria. Lake Mundi is older, with a typical resident aged 54, and has a much higher typical weekly household income of $2,124. In contrast, Dorodong has a much higher share of children under 15 at 23.8% and a far higher proportion of people born overseas. There are also significant differences in beliefs, as those with no religion are far more common in Dorodong at 61.9% compared to 13.5% in Lake Mundi.

Both areas are entirely car-dependent, with no homes within a short walk of public transport, schools, or shops. They also share an identical lack of residents identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. While they are similar in their isolation, the gap in typical weekly household income between the two remains substantial.
