Bruthen Marlo

Bruthen (L) and Marlo (L) are two small areas in East Gippsland with very different demographics. Marlo (L) is far older, with a typical resident aged 56 compared to 41 in Bruthen (L). This age gap is reflected in the homes, as 55.6% of dwellings in Marlo (L) are owned outright, while 39.7% are in Bruthen (L). Conversely, Bruthen (L) has a much higher share of children under 15 (19.2%) and more people in de facto relationships (19.0% compared to 7.7% in Marlo (L)).

The two areas have drifted further apart since 2011, with the age gap widening from 5 to 15 years and the difference in outright home ownership increasing. Despite these diverging trends, they share several similarities, such as identical rates of people working from home (12.7%) and the same typical weekly rent of $250. Both areas also have no residents who have arrived from overseas recently and no one who commutes by public transport.
