Indigenous population

In 2006, an estimated 1.1% of the region's residents were of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin, compared to 0.6% across Victoria.  The highest proportions of indigenous population lived in Boort and Ingewood and the lowest lived in Axedale and Heathcote.

Indigenous population - income

In 2006, median household incomes for the indigenous population of the PCP region were significantly lower than those of the non-indigenous population.  This pattern resembles the State differential between indigenous and non indigenous median household incomes.
