Chisholm Holt

Holt and Chisholm are two large residential areas in Melbourne's east, though they offer very different lifestyles. Chisholm is a very walkable area where a typical resident is 39 and 42.1% hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Holt is more car-dependent and younger, with a typical age of 33 and 24.4% of the population being children under 15. These differences extend to their housing; Holt is dominated by separate houses (90.3%) and larger homes, while Chisholm has a much higher share of people who own their homes outright (37.0%).

Both areas share similar typical weekly personal incomes and unemployment rates. While they are alike in these economic terms, the gap in their demographics has shifted over time. Since 2011, Chisholm has become much older and more likely to have residents without a religion. At the same time, the difference in education has grown, with the gap in bachelor degrees widening significantly since 2016.
