Hopetoun Park Myrniong

Hopetoun Park and Myrniong are two nearby Victorian areas with very different family and community profiles. Hopetoun Park is a younger place, where 25.2% of people are children under 15, and 37.6% of adults provide unpaid childcare. This is consistent with its larger homes and the fact that 79.3% of families are couples with children. In contrast, Myrniong has an older population with a typical age of 42 and a much higher share of people with no religion (52.3%). Myrniong also offers better local access, with 91.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, while Hopetoun Park has none.

Since 2011, these two areas have drifted further apart in several ways, such as the widening gap in children's numbers and the share of one-parent families. Yet they remain very similar in other aspects of daily life. Both have an identical unemployment rate of 3.8% and typical weekly rents that are nearly the same, at $375 in Hopetoun Park and $355 in Myrniong. Neither area relies on public transport for commuting, and both have a similar proportion of homes owned outright.
