Main Lead Mount Lonarch

Mount Lonarch and Main Lead are both sparsely populated areas in Victoria. They differ most in wealth and home life; the typical weekly personal income in Main Lead is $820, which is far higher than the $450 seen in Mount Lonarch. Family structures also vary, with one-parent families far more common in Main Lead (33.3%) and a much higher share of people in de facto relationships (31.3%). In contrast, Mount Lonarch has a much larger share of people who report no religion (50.0%) and more people providing unpaid care (23.7%).

These two areas have tracked similarly over time, with both remaining very small and isolated. They share a similar mix of people born overseas (around 18% to 19%) and nearly identical typical household incomes of $1,062. Both are car-dependent, as neither has a single home within a 15-minute walk of public transport or a school. While Main Lead has seen more people move in over the last five years (38.1% compared to 26.2% in Mount Lonarch), both remain far from the national figures for education and language diversity.
