Horsham Surrounds Stawell

Stawell and Horsham Surrounds are two Victorian areas located about 64 km apart. Stawell is more developed in terms of layout and services, with a somewhat walkable score and far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (58.4%) and health services (43.7%). In contrast, Horsham Surrounds is car-dependent, with only 15.2% of homes near groceries. Other major differences include the workforce and demographics; people working or looking for work are far more common in Horsham Surrounds (66.9%) than in Stawell (53.4%), while Stawell has far more recent overseas arrivals at 23.6%.

Both areas are very similar in their number of businesses, their typical rainfall and temperature, and the share of people providing unpaid care. These shared local conditions sit alongside a widening gap in housing, as the share of renters is now far higher in Stawell. While the gap in people working from home has narrowed slightly since 2011, the difference in the age of First Nations residents remains stark, with those in Horsham Surrounds being far older.
