Metung Bruthen

Metung and Bruthen (L) are two nearby Victorian areas with very different populations. Metung is much older, with a typical resident aged 60 and a far higher share of seniors at 37.9%. It is also more mobile, with 45.5% of people moving in recently, and more likely to be born overseas (17.9%). In contrast, Bruthen (L) is younger and more family-oriented, with 19.2% of people under 15 and a far higher share of adults caring for children (29.0%). Bruthen (L) is also more walkable (somewhat walkable) compared to Metung, which is car-dependent.

These two areas are remarkably alike in their typical weekly personal and household incomes. They also share a similar housing style, with almost all homes being separate houses and nearly the same percentage of people using another language at home. While they share these basics, other gaps have grown since 2011, such as the difference in typical age, which has widened to 19 years.
