Natimuk Rainbow

Rainbow (L) and Natimuk (L) are both small Victorian towns, but they differ in their social and economic profiles. Natimuk (L) has a far higher share of people with bachelor degrees (26.9% compared to 12.3%) and more people working from home (16.5% versus 4.9%). It also has a typical weekly household income that is well higher than in Rainbow (L), at $1,222 compared to $887. In contrast, Rainbow (L) is better for pedestrians, with 99.6% of homes within a 15 minute walk of health services compared to 76.0% in Natimuk (L).

Both towns share very similar patterns of home life, with nearly identical rates of people born overseas and roughly the same number of people per home. They also both have a very high proportion of residents who own their homes outright, far above the national figure. While some gaps have narrowed, such as the difference in the number of people aged 65 and over, others have widened. For example, the gap in the share of people reporting no religion has grown since 2011, and is now far higher in Natimuk (L).
