Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 3.1 km apart · Airport West profile · Keilor profile

Airport West Keilor

Keilor and Airport West are neighbouring areas with distinct housing and transport profiles. Keilor is a more established residential area where separate houses are far more common (87.3% compared to 62.5% in Airport West) and many more homes are owned outright (48.2% versus 38%). Residents in Keilor are also noticeably older, with a typical age of 45, while the typical resident in Airport West is 39. This is consistent with Keilor having more large homes with three or more bedrooms and a much higher share of people aged 65 and over.

Everyday life is similar in both places, as they share nearly identical typical family incomes and a similar proportion of children under 15. Both areas also have about a quarter of their population born overseas. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in the share of people renting has grown to 16.1%, and Airport West has become increasingly more walkable. For example, 98.7% of Airport West homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services, while only 13.2% of homes in Keilor share that access.
