Frankston South Mornington

Mornington (Vic.) and Frankston South are neighbouring areas with distinct profiles.

It is also an older community; the typical resident is 50, and 31.3% of people are aged 65 or over. In contrast, Frankston South has a higher typical weekly income of $2,038 compared to $1,451 in Mornington (Vic.), and a larger share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (29.8% versus 19%).

These two areas share several characteristics, including very similar rates of overseas birth and a nearly identical proportion of First Nations residents.
