Evelyn (Eastern Victoria) Rowville (South-Eastern Metropolitan)

Evelyn (Eastern Victoria) and Rowville (South-Eastern Metropolitan) are two nearby Victorian areas with very different cultural makeups. Rowville is far more diverse, with 33.1% of people born overseas and 29.1% using a language other than English at home, compared to 17.5% and 9.7% in Evelyn (Eastern Victoria). In contrast, Evelyn (Eastern Victoria) has a much higher share of people with no religion (49.9%) and a higher number of schools, with 24 within 3 km. Rowville (South-Eastern Metropolitan) is more compact, with a higher share of people who finished Year 12 (65.7%) and more homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport (90.2%).

These two areas have tracked away from each other since 2011 in several key ways. The gap in overseas births and home languages has widened, and the difference in the number of people with no religion has also grown. However, they remain very similar in other aspects of daily life; both have nearly the same share of detached houses (around 93%) and almost identical typical weekly personal incomes of about $830.
