Aston Casey

Aston and Casey are nearby Victorian areas with very different layouts and populations. Aston is a diverse hub where 33.0% of people were born overseas and 28.7% use a language other than English at home. It is very walkable, with 79.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. In contrast, Casey is more spread out and less diverse, with 16.8% born overseas and 7.9% using another language at home.
