Horsham Southern Grampians

Horsham and Southern Grampians are two distinct Victorian areas with very different layouts. Horsham is a more urban centre where the typical resident is 40, and the area is somewhat walkable. In contrast, Southern Grampians is mostly car-dependent and has a much older population, with a typical age of 49. This difference in age is linked to the housing and workforce; Southern Grampians has a far higher share of people who own their homes outright (53.3%) and those who work from home (26.6%), while Horsham has far more renters (27.6%) and more recent overseas arrivals (19.3%).

Both areas share very similar typical weekly household incomes, sitting around $1,300. They also have an identical share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents at 2.0%. While they share these basic traits, some gaps are widening. The age difference has grown since 2011, as Southern Grampians has become far older than Horsham. Similarly, the gap in renting has widened, with Horsham seeing a higher share of renters compared to the more stable home-ownership seen in Southern Grampians.
