Benalla Greater Shepparton

Greater Shepparton and Benalla are two Victorian regional areas with very different profiles. Greater Shepparton is younger and more diverse, with 17.6% of people using a language other than English at home compared to just 3.6% in Benalla. It is also more walkable, with 50.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a city center and a typical walk to the nearest transport stop of 20 minutes. In contrast, Benalla is far older, with a typical resident aged 51 and a much higher share of seniors at 29.6%. The walk to a transport stop there is significantly longer, averaging 67 minutes.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have generally widened. The age difference has grown to 12 years, and Greater Shepparton has become notably more diverse as the gap in language use and overseas births has increased. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas remain alike in some practical ways. They share the same typical monthly mortgage payment of $1,300 and similar weekly rents, with both seeing about 89% of homes as separate houses.
