Buninyong Gordon

Buninyong and Gordon (Vic.) are nearby Victorian areas with very different layouts. Buninyong is a somewhat walkable area where 89.7% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park and public transport is frequent. Gordon (Vic.) is car-dependent, with a much lower proportion of homes near parks (32.2%) and a far longer walk to the nearest transport stop. Education levels are also quite different; 30.9% of adults in Buninyong have a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 18.8% in Gordon (Vic.).

The gap in university qualifications has widened since 2011, but the two areas remain similar in other ways. They share very similar typical weekly household incomes, around $1,800 to $1,900, and have almost identical proportions of people born overseas. Both areas also sit near the national figure for the share of people aged 65 and over.
