Geelong Leopold

Geelong and Leopold are neighbouring areas with very different layouts and lifestyles. Geelong is a walker's paradise, where 91.9% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a variety of amenities and 40.2% of households are renting. It is also more qualified, with a bachelor degree or higher held by 32.6% of adults. In contrast, Leopold is a place of larger family homes, with 92.2% being separate houses and 87.2% having three or more bedrooms. It is more car-dependent, as only 50.7% of homes sit within a 15-minute city walkshed.

Both areas share a very similar typical weekly household income, with Geelong at $1,542 and Leopold at $1,589. They also have nearly identical proportions of First Nations people, at 1.2% each. While they share these basics, some gaps are changing; the difference in university qualifications has widened since 2011, while the gap in the share of renters has narrowed.
