Numurkah Strathmerton

Numurkah and Strathmerton (L) are nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Numurkah is much older, with a typical resident aged 50 compared to 38 in Strathmerton (L). This is reflected in the share of seniors, which is far higher in Numurkah at 29.9%. Residents in Numurkah are also more likely to own their homes outright (44.2%) and there are far more recent arrivals from overseas (12.3% compared to 0%). In contrast, Strathmerton (L) has a much higher share of children under 15 (22.4%) and more adults working or looking for work (61.7% versus 45.7% in Numurkah).

Since 2011, many of the gaps between the two have narrowed. The difference in typical age has shrunk by four years, and the gap in home ownership and the proportion of seniors has also fallen.
