Warrnambool Penshurst

Warrnambool and Penshurst (L) are two very different Victorian areas. Warrnambool is a much larger hub with higher typical weekly incomes ($1,396 compared to $855) and a more qualified workforce, where 19.5% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher compared to 9.0% in Penshurst (L). The demographics differ sharply, with residents far older in Penshurst (L), where the typical age is 54 compared to 42 in Warrnambool. Warrnambool also sees far more recent arrivals from overseas, at 24.0% compared to none in Penshurst (L).

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of adults working or looking for work.

However, their housing markets differ, with homes far more likely to be owned outright in Penshurst (L) (53.7% versus 36.6%).
