Ararat Surrounds Camperdown

Camperdown and Ararat Surrounds are two small Victorian populations with very different layouts. Camperdown is a more compact area where 76.8% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a "15-minute-city" walkshed and the walkability score is 5.6 (somewhat walkable). In contrast, Ararat Surrounds is mostly car-dependent with a score of 2.1, and only 22.2% of homes have that same walking access. There are also stark differences in working patterns and beliefs; 26.1% of people in Ararat Surrounds work from home compared to just 8.7% in Camperdown, and 47.1% of Ararat Surrounds residents report no religion, which is far higher than the 36.5% in Camperdown.

Both areas have almost identical proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, at around 1%. They also share very similar unemployment rates and typical monthly home-loan payments. While the gap in the share of people working from home has widened since 2016, the difference in the share of adults with a bachelor degree has remained little changed. To provide a national context, both areas have a much higher proportion of people aged 65 and over than the national figure.
