The median age in southbank was 29 because it is close to the city and people that live there are generally young because they enjoy the lifestyle that they experience living near the city. because as I said before it is a more modern area where people live.

Crime Rate-

These locations have quite different crime rates. As you can see in the crime rate sections of this magazine (pages 5, 8, 12), Williamstown has a rather low crime rate compared to Keilor East and South Bank. Williamstown has a considerably low percentage of crime rate. Keilor East and South Bank do not particularly differ from each other in their amount of crime. Although there are still crimes in Williamstown, they are not as frequent or as common as the other two locations. This is probably the reason for families dwelling in this area because it is safer comapred to Southbank which is mostly populated by singles and young adults. Also, as you can see in the graphs and tables on pages…, assault is the highest committed crime against a person in all three of these locations.
