Dookie Tungamah

Tungamah (L) and Dookie (L) are two small Victorian towns with very different profiles. Dookie (L) has a more qualified workforce, with 43.3% of residents completing Year 12 compared to 20.5% in Tungamah (L), and a typical weekly household income that is $258 higher. Dookie (L) also has far more large homes, with 92.5% having three or more bedrooms, while Tungamah (L) is more mobile, with a far higher share of people who moved in the last five years (35.7% compared to 24.3%).

Both areas sit around the national figure for the share of children under 15. They are also similar in that almost every home is within a 15-minute walk of a park and no one in either town commutes by public transport. While the two towns share these basics, they have drifted apart in other ways since 2011; the gap in full-time employment has widened, and the difference in the typical age of residents has grown to four years.
