Holt Monash

Monash and Holt are two very different Victorian areas. Monash is much older, with a typical resident aged 46 and 25.1% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Holt is far younger; its typical resident is just 33 and only 9.1% are seniors. This age gap is consistent with other key differences: Monash has a much higher share of people living alone (30.0%) and those who own their homes outright (42.8%). Holt is far more diverse, with 42.1% of people born overseas and 42.1% using a language other than English at home, compared to just 13.0% and 4.8% in Monash.

The gap in home ownership has widened since 2011, as Monash has seen a sharp increase in those who own their homes outright compared to Holt. Despite this, both areas have similar rates of people working from home, around 15% to 16%. While Monash is more remote with a 71-minute drive to the city, Holt is more urban, with far higher shares of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (73.9%) and schools (80.8%).
