Main Ridge Rosebud

Rosebud and Main Ridge are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different profiles. Rosebud is a larger centre where a higher share of people rent and many more live in one-parent families, at 18.5%. Main Ridge is far more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $2,166 compared to $1,183 in Rosebud. This gap is also seen in education and work; 36.4% of Main Ridge adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, and 34.2% work from home, both far higher than the figures in Rosebud.

These two areas are moving further apart in their levels of wealth and education. While they share similar typical weekly rents of around $350 and an equal number of people per home, the divide in incomes and qualifications has widened since 2011. Rosebud remains the more accessible hub, as it is somewhat walkable and has far more people living within a 15-minute walk of schools, groceries, and public transport, while Main Ridge is car-dependent.
