Cobram is more connected for pedestrians, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of public transport (90.1% compared to 53.5% in Barooga), schools and parks. It also has a more diverse population, with 16.7% of people born overseas and 13.4% using a language other than English at home, which is well higher than the figures for Barooga. Barooga, meanwhile, has a higher typical weekly household income of $1,342, compared to $1,039 in Cobram.
