Drung McKenzie Creek

McKenzie Creek and Drung are two sparsely populated areas in Victoria. McKenzie Creek has a much younger feel, with 22.1% of people under 15 and far more people caring for children unpaid (38.8%). This is consistent with a higher share of people in de facto relationships and homes with three or more bedrooms (94.4%). Drung is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 50, and has a higher share of people living alone (28.8%) and households earning $3,000 or more a week (25.0%).

Both areas share a total reliance on cars, as every home has a motor vehicle and no one uses public transport to get to work. They are also alike in that no residents speak a language other than English at home. While McKenzie Creek has far more adults with a bachelor degree (19.8%) and more people who finished Year 12 (47.7%), both areas remain well below the national figures for these qualifications.
