Jam Jerrup The Gurdies

The Gurdies and Jam Jerrup are neighbouring rural areas in Victoria with very different social profiles. Residents are far older in The Gurdies, where the typical age is 57 and 34.6% of people are aged 65 or over. This older population is consistent with a higher rate of long-term health conditions (42.0%) and more homes owned outright (50.4%). In contrast, Jam Jerrup has a much higher typical weekly family income of $2,750 compared to $1,468 in The Gurdies, and a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (21.3%).

Both areas have similar rates of home renting and a nearly identical share of people with no religion, which sits close to the national figure. They are also alike in their lack of local infrastructure, as neither has a school within 3km or any grocery stores and health services within a 15-minute walk. However, The Gurdies has more public transport stops and more homes within walking distance of a park.
