Dumbalk North Mardan

Mardan and Dumbalk North are neighbouring rural areas in South Gippsland, but they have very different household profiles. Mardan has a much larger share of children under 15 (18.5% compared to 5.6% in Dumbalk North) and people aged 65 and over (23.4% versus 12.2%). This younger and older mix is consistent with Mardan having far more people in de facto relationships (21.8% against 6.3%) and a higher proportion of large homes with three or more bedrooms.

Both areas are essentially identical in that every single home is a separate house and no one uses public transport to get to work. While they share these traits, their workforces differ; adults working or looking for work are far more common in Dumbalk North (74.1%) than in Mardan (51.4%). This gap is reflected in the pay, with people earning $2,000 or more a week being well higher in Dumbalk North.
