Korumburra Meeniyan

Korumburra and Meeniyan (L) are two nearby Victorian towns with very different community profiles. Meeniyan (L) is far more likely to have residents who finished Year 12 (49.6% compared to 38.1% in Korumburra) and a much higher share of people who volunteer (30.6% vs 16.1%). In contrast, Korumburra is more dynamic in its population movement, with 41.9% of people moving there in the last five years compared to 31.4% in Meeniyan (L). Korumburra also has more health services within a 15-minute walk, while Meeniyan (L) has no homes within that distance of such services.

Both towns are very similar in other ways, with nearly the same proportion of people born overseas and almost identical rates of home ownership and mortgage payments. These shared traits sit alongside changing trends; for example, the age gap between the two has narrowed, as the typical resident in Korumburra is now only five years older than in Meeniyan (L). Meanwhile, the gap in the number of people who live alone has also shrunk since 2011.
