Point Cook Seabrook

Point Cook and Seabrook are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different profiles. Point Cook is a much larger, younger hub where 52.1% of people were born overseas and 41.1% hold a bachelor degree or higher. It has a highly mobile population, with 52.0% of residents moving in during the last five years. In contrast, Seabrook is more established; 35.0% of homes are owned outright compared to just 14.9% in Point Cook. Seabrook also offers better local access, with 99.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of city services, far higher than the 60.6% in Point Cook.

While these two areas have tracked differently since 2011, they share several common traits. Both have similar unemployment rates, around 6% to 6.5%, and nearly every home in both places is within a 15-minute walk of a park. They also have very similar levels of volunteering and a similar share of residents who have served in the Defence Force. Both areas sit well above the national figure for people born overseas, though this is far more pronounced in Point Cook.
