Kerang Kerang East

Kerang and Kerang East are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different profiles. Kerang is a larger hub where 30.9% of people are seniors and the area is somewhat walkable, with 81.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. In contrast, Kerang East is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with no homes within walking distance of health services, schools, or groceries. Kerang East has a much higher share of people in de facto relationships (37.5%) and those providing unpaid care for children (44.1%), while typical monthly home-loan payments there are far higher at $1,700 compared to $1,000 in Kerang.

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, maintaining a consistent gap in their development. They share a similar typical weekly household income of around $1,000 and have almost identical shares of people who speak little or no English. Both areas also have about the same proportion of one-parent families, sitting at around 17%.
