Montgomery Myrtlebank

Myrtlebank and Montgomery are two sparsely populated neighbouring areas in Victoria. Myrtlebank is a much older community, where the typical resident is 51, compared to 37 in Montgomery. It is also significantly wealthier; the typical weekly household income is $1,874, which is far higher than the $900 seen in Montgomery. In contrast, Montgomery has a more diverse population, with 20.0% born overseas and 13.8% using another language at home, compared to 9.5% born overseas and no one using another language at home in Myrtlebank.
