Murrayville Rainbow

Rainbow (L) and Murrayville (L) are both small Victorian towns with distinct social profiles. Rainbow (L) has a noticeably older population, with a typical resident aged 57 and 36.8% of people aged 65 and over. This is consistent with a higher rate of long-term health conditions (40.9%) and more people needing help with daily activities. In contrast, Murrayville (L) has a much higher share of people with no religion (49.1%) and typically higher family incomes, with the usual weekly pay reaching $1,699 compared to $1,312 in Rainbow (L).

Both towns share a very similar housing and transport layout, with exactly the same average number of people per home (2.0) and an identical share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park. These commonalities stand out as the two areas have diverged in other ways since 2011. For example, the gap in the number of seniors has flipped, and the difference in the share of people reporting no religion has widened significantly.
