The Basin Kilsyth

Kilsyth and The Basin are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different layouts. Kilsyth is more connected, with a far higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (50.6% compared to 5.4%) and more street intersections. The Basin is more residential and spacious, where separate houses are far more common at 96.4%, and a higher share of homes have at least three bedrooms (90.9% versus 79.4%). Kilsyth also has a more mobile population, with a far higher share of people moving in the last five years (38.3% against 25.2%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who served in the Defence Force. They also share similar typical weekly incomes and the same rate of people providing unpaid care. While they are alike in these ways, some gaps have grown since 2016, such as the difference in rental rates and the number of people born overseas, which is now well higher in Kilsyth.
