Griffith Echuca - Moama

Echuca - Moama and Griffith are two regional centres with very different social make-ups. Echuca - Moama is a much older area, where the typical resident is 46 and 26.2% of people are aged 65 or over. In contrast, the typical person in Griffith is 37. Griffith is also far more multicultural, with 26.5% of people born overseas and 27.3% using a language other than English at home, compared to 8.2% and 4.1% in Echuca - Moama. Those figures are consistent with Griffith's higher share of recent arrivals from overseas, which is 30.3%.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two towns have generally widened. The age difference has grown to 9 years, while the gap in people born overseas has increased to 18 percentage points. Despite these diverging trends, they remain alike in some ways; both have about the same share of university graduates and similar typical weekly rents. They also both have a similar proportion of one-parent families and very low use of public transport for commuting.
