Calwell Wills

Calwell and Wills are nearby Victorian areas with very different characters. Calwell is a family-focused area where 23.7% of people are children under 15, and homes are typically large, with 89.8% having three or more bedrooms. It is also far more diverse, with 58.3% of people using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Wills is a more urban environment where 40.6% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 40.5% of residents report no religion. Living in Wills is more compact, as 29.3% of people live alone compared to just 14.8% in Calwell.

The gap in how people get to work is widening, with 35.6% of Wills residents working from home compared to 16.7% in Calwell. Both areas are however very similar in other ways, such as the share of people needing help with daily activities and the percentage of the population that is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. This reflects a shared experience in basic health and identity, even though Wills is a walker's paradise and Calwell is only somewhat walkable.
