Harcourt Marong

Marong (L) and Harcourt (L) are two nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Marong (L) is a young community where the typical resident is 30, and children under 15 make up 29.8% of the population. It is a place of high growth and movement, with 55.2% of people moving in during the last five years and 17.8% arriving from overseas. In contrast, Harcourt (L) is much older, with a typical age of 45 and 23.0% of residents aged 65 or over. Homes in Harcourt (L) are more likely to be owned outright (39.5% compared to 16.7% in Marong (L)), while Marong (L) has a higher share of full-time employment at 61.7%.

These two areas have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with many of their age and household gaps flipping. They do share some common ground, such as having similar proportions of people who have served in the Defence Force and those who speak little or no English. While both are far from the national figure for health services, they differ in daily convenience: Marong (L) is far more likely to be within a 15-minute walk of groceries, whereas Harcourt (L) has much better access to public transport.
