Mount Buller Wandiligong

Wandiligong (L) and Mount Buller (L) are two small Victorian areas with very different profiles. Wandiligong (L) is an older community where the typical resident is 45 and children under 15 make up 21.0% of the population. It is a place of detached houses—100% of homes are separate houses—and a high proportion of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher (30.9%). In contrast, Mount Buller (L) is far younger, with a typical age of just 27 and only 6.3% children. It is a more transient hub where 51.2% of homes are rented and 55.8% of residents are recent arrivals from overseas.

Typical household incomes are almost identical in both areas, sitting around $1,700 a week. However, their lifestyles differ; Mount Buller (L) is somewhat walkable with many people walking to work, while Wandiligong (L) is car-dependent. Over time, the gaps between them have grown. The difference in the number of children and the share of people living alone has widened since 2011, as has the gap in university qualifications.
