Glengarry Rawson

Glengarry and Rawson are two small Victorian towns with very different social profiles. Glengarry is a wealthier area where the typical household earns $2,045 a week, compared to just $822 in Rawson. It is also much younger, with a typical resident aged 37, while Rawson's typical resident is 46. This difference in age is reflected in the family structures; Glengarry has a higher share of children and many more people caring for children unpaid, while Rawson has a much higher proportion of people living alone and one-parent families.

Both towns sit near the national figure for the share of people with no religion. Their commonalities extend to a similar rate of full-time employment and a lack of recent overseas arrivals. However, the gaps between them have shifted significantly since 2011. Glengarry has seen a sharp rise in income and home-loan payments relative to Rawson, and its population has become younger while Rawson's has grown older.
