Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 58 km apart · Bairnsdale profile · Sale profile

Bairnsdale Sale

Bairnsdale and Sale are two similar-sized regional centres in Victoria, but they offer very different levels of accessibility. Sale is very walkable, with 78.1% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and far more public transport stops and departures than Bairnsdale. Bairnsdale is somewhat walkable and has a notably older population; the typical resident is 45, compared to 42 in Sale. Bairnsdale also has a larger First Nations population, with 750 people compared to 388 in Sale.

These two areas share many similarities in daily life, from the number of schools and the proportion of people providing unpaid care to the low shares of residents who speak little or no English. However, some gaps have grown since 2011, such as the number of people earning $2,000 or more a week, which is now well higher in Sale. This is consistent with Sale having a higher share of professionals and a higher percentage of adults with a bachelor degree.
