Wantirna Ringwood

Ringwood and Wantirna are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different housing and transport profiles. Ringwood is a busier hub where 38.8% of households rent and 30.4% of people live alone. It has much better transit access, with far more public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people, and 93.7% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Wantirna is more suburban; 90.4% of its homes have three or more bedrooms and 38.7% are owned outright. Wantirna also has a more established feel, with a higher share of residents aged 65 and over (21.3%) and a higher typical age of 41.

These two areas are very similar in their typical weekly personal incomes, which sit at $822 in Ringwood and $762 in Wantirna. They also share nearly identical rates of long-term health conditions and volunteerism. While they have much in common, some gaps are widening. Since 2011, the difference in the share of homes owned outright and those with three or more bedrooms has grown, making Wantirna's residential landscape even more distinct from Ringwood.
