Beveridge Broadford

Beveridge and Broadford are nearby Victorian areas with similar population sizes, but they offer very different lifestyles. Beveridge is a young, multicultural hub where 24.7% of people were born overseas and 25.9% use a language other than English at home. It is also more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $2,290 and 27.3% of homes earning $3,000 or more per week. In contrast, Broadford is more established and older; the typical resident is 38, and 16.7% of the population is aged 65 or over. Broadford is also much more walkable, with nearly half of its homes within 15 minutes of groceries and health services, whereas Beveridge has no homes within that distance.

The gap in incomes and education has widened significantly since 2011. Both areas share similar unemployment rates and almost identical levels of public transport commuting. While Beveridge has seen a surge in new residents and families with children, Broadford has a higher proportion of people living alone and more homes owned outright. This reflects a contrast between a rapidly growing suburb and a more stable town.
