Rowville - South is more diverse and connected, with 35.2% of people born overseas and 31.9% using a language other than English at home. It is also far more walkable; for example, 67.7% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services, compared to just 7.7% in Lysterfield. Lysterfield is more affluent and residential, with 43.4% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and a very high share of detached houses at 99.7%.
