Robertsons Beach Yarram

Yarram and Robertsons Beach are two nearby Victorian areas with very different layouts. Yarram is a more active hub where the typical resident is 53 and 14.0% of the population are children. It is somewhat walkable, with 86.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Robertsons Beach is a sparsely populated area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 64 and no children under 15. Life there is car-dependent, and the population has a much higher rate of long-term health conditions at 57.1%.

Both areas share a similar distance to the city and have very few people who speak little or no English. This common ground exists alongside a growing gap in how people live; Yarram has far more large homes with three or more bedrooms, while Robertsons Beach is made up entirely of separate houses. Yarram also has far more adults working or looking for work, compared to just 16.7% in Robertsons Beach.
