Horsham Surrounds Hamilton

Hamilton (Vic.) and Horsham Surrounds are two different types of regional environments. Hamilton (Vic.) is a more concentrated hub where 70.4% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of amenities and public transport stops are far more common. In contrast, Horsham Surrounds is more rural; it has a much higher share of people working from home (22.5% compared to 7.8%) and far more homes owned outright (53.6% compared to 41.8%). There is also a stark difference in the First Nations population, with residents far older in Horsham Surrounds, where the typical age is 35, compared to just 19 in Hamilton (Vic.).

Both areas sit near the national figure for overall advantage. They also share very similar proportions of children under 15, adults with degrees, and people providing unpaid care. While they have much in common, some gaps are growing; the difference in home ownership and the share of people renting have both widened since 2011. The gap in the number of adults working or looking for work has also increased, with that figure far higher in Horsham Surrounds.
