Older adults aged 45 to 64 make up the largest group in Mount Glasgow, where 38% of residents fall into this bracket. This reflects a broader trend of an ageing population, with the typical resident being far older than the national figure.
The typical resident is 52, which is far older than the Victoria and Australia average of 38. The total population is small, with only 92 people living in the area.
Half the population is older than this age, and half younger.
