Dunach Mount Cameron

Dunach and Mount Cameron are both sparsely populated areas in Victoria. Dunach is slightly larger in terms of population and has more infrastructure, with one school and one public transport stop, compared to none in Mount Cameron. These differences extend to housing and accessibility; the typical weekly rent is far higher in Dunach at $200, while Mount Cameron is $100. In contrast, typical weekly household income is well higher in Mount Cameron at $1,125, compared to $791 in Dunach.

Both areas are very car-dependent and have almost no homes within walking distance of groceries or health services. This lack of local amenities is consistent with how both areas sit well below the national figure for typical weekly incomes. While Dunach is noticeably older with a typical resident aged 58, Mount Cameron is not far behind at 55, and both remain far older than the national figure.
