Murray Ripon (Western Victoria)

Murray and Ripon (Western Victoria) are both large regional areas, though they differ in their populations and social makeup. Murray has a far higher share of recent overseas arrivals (26.2% compared to 12.8% in Ripon) and a well higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (5.7% versus 1.9%). Ripon (Western Victoria) is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 47 and a higher proportion of people aged 65 and over (25.5% compared to 21.7% in Murray).

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged in some key ways; the gap in overseas arrivals and the number of people with no religion has widened. They do share many commonalities, such as having very similar typical weekly rents of around $240 to $250. Both areas also see very few people commuting by public transport, with figures between 0.3% and 0.4%, well below the national figure.
