Nillumbik Whitehorse

Whitehorse and Nillumbik are two different types of living environments in Victoria. Whitehorse is a more diverse and urban area, with 41.5% of people born overseas and 40.5% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Nillumbik is more rural and residential; 93.5% of its homes are separate houses, compared to 64.6% in Whitehorse. This difference in layout is clear in their transport and layout, as 99% of Whitehorse homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, while only 55.4% of Nillumbik homes do.

Both areas are equally advantaged, with overall advantage scores that sit just above the national average. They also share very similar typical monthly home-loan payments, around $2,200. However, the gap in home ownership and diversity has grown over time. Since 2011, the difference in the share of overseas-born residents has widened, and Nillumbik has seen a further increase in the share of homes with three or more bedrooms compared to Whitehorse.
