Evelyn (Eastern Victoria) Gembrook (Eastern Victoria)

Gembrook (Eastern Victoria) and Evelyn (Eastern Victoria) are both large residential areas in eastern Victoria, though Gembrook is the larger of the two. Gembrook is seeing much more movement, with 44.5% of people moving in during the last five years compared to 32.3% in Evelyn. This shift is accompanied by greater diversity in Gembrook, where a higher share of people were born overseas (24.5% versus 17.5%) and use a language other than English at home (17.7% versus 9.7%). In contrast, Evelyn has better local access to health services, with 54.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk, compared to 44.1% in Gembrook.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of adults who have completed Year 12. Beyond that, they share very similar typical weekly household incomes, hovering around $1,970.
