McKenzie Creek Mockinya

McKenzie Creek and Mockinya are both sparsely populated areas in Victoria. McKenzie Creek is larger and more diverse in its views, with 45.7% of people reporting no religion compared to 13.3% in Mockinya. However, Mockinya has a much higher typical weekly family income of $3,749, while McKenzie Creek is $2,125. Health and age also differ, with people in McKenzie Creek being noticeably older and far more likely to have a long-term health condition.

Both areas share a lack of basic infrastructure, with neither having any public transport stops or schools within 3 km. This common isolation is mirrored in their demographics; neither area has any residents who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, and no one in either place speaks a language other than English at home. While both remain car-dependent, McKenzie Creek has a slightly more walkable environment, with 53.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park.
