Dromana Red Hill

Dromana and Red Hill (Vic.) are neighbouring areas in the Mornington Peninsula, but they differ sharply in wealth and layout. Red Hill (Vic.) is a high-earning area where the typical weekly household income is $2,344, and 37.9% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Dromana is more modest, with a typical household income of $1,304 and only 18.0% of adults with a degree. Dromana is also more urban and accessible; it has far more renters (25.2% compared to 13.7% in Red Hill (Vic.)) and many more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and public transport.

These two places are very similar in their age profile, as the typical resident in both is 50 years old. They also share similar levels of home ownership, with around 44% of homes in both areas owned outright. While they share these traits, the gap in how people work is wide, with 37.2% of Red Hill (Vic.) residents working from home compared to 18.9% in Dromana. This reflects the contrast between Dromana's more connected, transit-oriented environment and the more secluded, residential nature of Red Hill (Vic.).
