Calwell Hawke

Calwell and Hawke are two large, nearby Victorian areas with very different characters. Calwell is a young, multicultural hub where 45.2% of people were born overseas and 58.3% use a language other than English at home. It is also much more walkable, with 71.8% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed and better access to shops and schools. In contrast, Hawke is less diverse, with 24.1% born overseas, and has a higher share of people with no religion (36.3%). Life there is more car-dependent, with only 37.4% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for typical weekly household income, with Calwell at $1,681 and Hawke at $1,738. They also share similar housing patterns, as about 90% of homes in both areas have three or more bedrooms. While they share some common ground, the gap in cultural diversity has widened since 2011. Similarly, the difference in the number of people who identify as having no religion has grown significantly over that time.
