Euroa Murchison

Euroa and Murchison (L) are two nearby Victorian towns with different residential and social profiles. Euroa is more walkable and has a larger share of separate houses (92.8% compared to 82.5% in Murchison (L)). It also has a far higher proportion of recent overseas arrivals at 10.2%, while Murchison (L) has none. In contrast, Murchison (L) is much better connected to public transport, with 69.9% of homes within a 10-minute walk, compared to 35.0% in Euroa.

An Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population that is well higher in Murchison (L) has seen its gap with Euroa widen since 2011. Despite this, the two towns are very alike in other ways. They share the same typical household income of around $1,000 a week, the same proportion of children under 15, and nearly identical rates of people providing unpaid care. Both areas also have a population well above the national figure for those aged 65 and over.
