Illabarook Staffordshire Reef

Staffordshire Reef and Illabarook are both sparsely populated areas in Victoria. They differ sharply in age and family life; Staffordshire Reef is much older, with a typical resident aged 60 and 39.7% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Illabarook is much younger, with a typical resident aged 36 and a far higher share of children under 15 (34.1%). Income also varies widely, with typical weekly household income far higher in Illabarook ($1,375) than in Staffordshire Reef ($739).

Both areas are effectively alike in their lack of nearby services, as neither has any homes within walking distance of public transport, schools, or groceries. They also share similar patterns of stability, with about a quarter of residents having moved in the last five years. While Staffordshire Reef has a much higher share of people with no religion (58.7%), both areas sit well below the national figure for the proportion of residents who speak a language other than English at home.
