Hawke Lalor

Lalor and Hawke are both large residential areas in Victoria, but they differ sharply in their makeup and layout. Lalor is far more diverse and urban; 45.2% of its people were born overseas and 47.0% use a language other than English at home. It is also better connected, with 63.4% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed. In contrast, Hawke is more traditional and rural, with a far higher share of people who claim no religion (36.3% compared to 23.3% in Lalor) and a higher typical age of 35. Education levels are also higher in Lalor, where 28.9% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 17.5% in Hawke.

These two areas are remarkably similar in their finances and home sizes. They share almost identical typical weekly personal incomes, around $800, and both have a very high proportion of homes with three or more bedrooms. While they share these everyday similarities, other gaps are shifting. The difference in overseas birth rates has flipped since 2011, and the gap in people using another language at home has widened significantly over the same period.
