Bruthen Newlands Arm

Newlands Arm (L) and Bruthen (L) are two nearby Victorian areas with very different demographics. Newlands Arm (L) is far older, with a typical resident aged 61 and 42.8% of people aged 65 and over, compared to a typical age of 41 and 15.0% of seniors in Bruthen (L). This age gap is seen in the housing and health data, as Newlands Arm (L) has far more homes owned outright (65.4% versus 39.7%) and a much higher share of people with long-term health conditions (43.0% versus 30.5%). Bruthen (L) is more geared toward families, with far more people caring for children unpaid (29.0% versus 15.2%).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways, particularly with the age and home-ownership gaps widening.
