Drouin Buln Buln

Drouin and Buln Buln (L) are neighbouring areas in Victoria, though they differ in size and character. Drouin is much larger and more mobile, with 49.1% of people moving there in the last five years compared to 19.6% in Buln Buln (L). While Drouin is somewhat walkable, Buln Buln (L) is mostly car-dependent. The two areas also show a clear contrast in wealth and health; Buln Buln (L) has a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (24.3% versus 12.4%), while Drouin has a far higher share of people with a long-term health condition (35.5% versus 25.1%).

Both areas share very similar proportions of children under 15 and a similar amount of people providing unpaid care.
