Moorabool Sutherlands Creek

Sutherlands Creek and Moorabool are both sparsely populated areas in Victoria. Sutherlands Creek is a much wealthier area, where the typical weekly household income is $3,250 and 54.1% of homes earn $3,000 or more a week. It also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 28.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Moorabool is far more diverse, with 20.2% of people born overseas and 20.2% using a language other than English at home, compared to just 8.5% and 2.3% in Sutherlands Creek.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people aged 65 and over. They are also very similar in their housing and transport, as every home in both places is a separate house with at least three bedrooms and no one uses public transport to get to work. While both are car-dependent, the gaps in income and education between these neighbouring areas have remained significant.
