Camperdown Otway

Otway and Camperdown are two Victorian areas with similar typical incomes, but they differ in lifestyle and demographics. Otway is far more likely to have residents with no religion (53.8%) and people working from home (21.6%). It also has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (23.9%), compared to 13.1% in Camperdown. In contrast, Camperdown is more urban; its walkability score is somewhat walkable (5.6), while Otway is mostly car-dependent (3.4). This is seen in the layout, as 79.3% of Camperdown homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services, compared to just 30.7% in Otway.

While these differences are distinct, the gap in the number of people working from home has widened since 2016. The two areas share several similarities, such as nearly identical typical household incomes and a similar proportion of people living alone. Both are also significantly older than the national figure, with over 27% of their populations aged 65 and over.
