Belmont Leopold

Belmont and Leopold are nearby areas in Victoria with very different layouts. Belmont is very walkable, with 96% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and a typical resident aged 37. It has a more transient and diverse population, with 24.9% recent arrivals from overseas and 35.4% of homes being rented. In contrast, Leopold is more suburban, with 92.2% of homes being separate houses and a higher share of large homes, with 87.2% having three or more bedrooms. The typical resident in Leopold is older, at 41, and the area is more likely to be owned with a mortgage.

These two areas share very similar typical incomes and a nearly identical share of people who volunteer. They also have similar proportions of First Nations residents and people needing help with daily activities. While they share these common traits, some gaps are widening. Since 2011, the difference in university qualifications has grown, with Belmont now far higher than Leopold. Similarly, the gap in recent overseas arrivals has increased, making Belmont's population noticeably more diverse than its neighbour's.
