Glenelg Warrnambool

Warrnambool and Glenelg are two Victorian areas with very different layouts and profiles. Warrnambool is a more urban centre where 62.4% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and public transport is far more common, with 636.6 weekly departures per 1,000 people. It also has a more qualified workforce, with 19.4% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Glenelg is much more rural and sprawling, with a higher typical age of 49 and a higher rate of motor vehicle theft, which is 263 compared to Warrnambool's 54.

The gap in education and age has widened since 2011, with the difference in Year 12 completion now 12.1 points. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain alike in several ways. They have similar shares of First Nations people, people born overseas, and those providing unpaid care. Both areas also have roughly the same number of people per home, averaging around 2.2 or 2.3.
