Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 35 km apart · Maffra profile · Sale profile

Maffra Sale

Sale and Maffra are nearby Victorian towns with similar population sizes, but they offer very different living environments. Sale is very walkable, with 74% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 93% near public transport. In contrast, Maffra is mostly car-dependent, and only 39.9% of its homes are within a 15-minute-city walkshed. Sale also has a much higher proportion of renters at 32.2%, compared to 16.4% in Maffra, and far more school enrolments, totaling 4,139.

These two areas share a very similar profile in terms of typical weekly household income, which is around $1,330 for both. They also have almost identical shares of children under 15 and people aged 65 and over. While Sale's share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher is well higher than Maffra's, this gap has widened since 2011. Similarly, the difference in renting levels has grown over the last decade.
