Neerim North Neerim South

Neerim South and Neerim North are two nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Neerim South is more populated and serves as a local hub, with a walkability score of 3.9 (mostly car-dependent) and a typical monthly home-loan payment of $1,549. It has a much older population, with 26.6% aged 65 and over. In contrast, Neerim North is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a much younger feel as 29.3% of residents are children under 15. Neerim North also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 43.3% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 15.4% in Neerim South.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, though some gaps are shifting. They share a similar household size, with 2.5 people per home, and both have very few residents who speak little or no English.
