Murrayville Lameroo

Lameroo and Murrayville are small towns located about 61 km apart across the South Australian and Victorian borders. Lameroo has a much larger share of recent overseas arrivals at 40.2%, compared to none in Murrayville. Employment and housing also differ, with full-time work far higher in Lameroo (68.5% versus 52.2%) and homes with three or more bedrooms far more common there (84.1% versus 70.8%). In contrast, Murrayville has a far higher share of people with no religion (49.1% versus 31.9%) and more people living alone (45.8% versus 35.2%).

The gap in the number of people who claim no religion has widened since 2011. However, the two towns are very similar in other ways, such as the proportion of children under 15 and typical weekly personal incomes, which are $643 in Lameroo and $615 in Murrayville. Both areas are also largely car-dependent, with virtually no one commuting by public transport. While both have a higher share of seniors than the national figure, Lameroo's share of people aged 65 and over is slightly higher at 29.6%.
