Bendigo is more urban and dynamic, with a walkability score of 5.7 (somewhat walkable) and a population that is much more mobile, as 40.9% of residents moved here in the last five years. In contrast, Maryborough - Pyrenees is mostly car-dependent with a score of 3.1 and has a far older population, with a typical resident aged 50 compared to 39 in Bendigo. This difference is reflected in the housing and workforce; Bendigo has a far higher share of renters (29.8%) and adults working or looking for work (59.7%), while Maryborough - Pyrenees has far more homes owned outright (47.7%).
