Neerim South Buln Buln

Neerim South and Buln Buln (L) are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different profiles. Neerim South is more walkable (somewhat walkable) and has far more people aged 65 and over (28.1% compared to 15.6%). It is also much more dynamic in terms of movement, with 42.0% of residents moving in the last five years, compared to just 19.6% in Buln Buln (L). In contrast, Buln Buln (L) is mostly car-dependent and has a much higher typical weekly family income of $2,457, which is $949 more than the $1,508 typical in Neerim South.

Since 2011, these two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several key measures. The gaps in household income, the number of people working or looking for work, and the share of high-earning households have all widened as Buln Buln (L) has moved ahead. Meanwhile, Neerim South has seen its lead grow in the share of people living alone and those aged 65 and over. Despite these diverging trends, they remain similar in other ways, such as having almost identical typical monthly mortgage payments and very similar rates of people using another language at home.
