Aireys Inlet Fairhaven

Aireys Inlet and Fairhaven are neighbouring coastal areas with very different levels of convenience. Aireys Inlet is somewhat walkable, with 86.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 59.8% within reach of a school. In contrast, Fairhaven is mostly car-dependent, where only 0.6% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries or a school. Fairhaven is generally wealthier, with a typical weekly personal income of $1,143 compared to $895 in Aireys Inlet, and a higher share of residents with bachelor degrees (47.8% versus 43.9%).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining as high-income pockets where a large number of residents are older than the national figure. They share many common traits, such as having the same typical weekly rent of around $340 to $350 and nearly identical levels of mental health conditions. In both places, homes are spacious, and very few residents use public transport to commute.
