Who lives here — how many people, how old they are, and how communities identify.
A much higher share of couples in de facto relationships than the state average defines Rosebrook. This small community of 128 people has a typical resident aged 37, making it a little younger than the national figure.
The typical resident is 37 years old, which is much lower than most similar areas. This makes the population a little younger than both the Victorian and Australian typical ages of 38.
Half the population is older than this age, and half younger.
