Allestree Heywood

Heywood and Allestree are nearby Victorian areas with very different layouts. Heywood is more developed, with 74.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 57.8% near health services, making it mostly car-dependent. Allestree is car-dependent and lacks these walkable amenities. There are also notable social differences; Heywood has a much higher share of one-parent families at 18.7% compared to 5.6% in Allestree. Allestree has more high earners, with 21.0% of households making $3,000 or more a week, while only 8.7% of Heywood households reach this level.

The two areas are almost identical in the typical age of their residents, which is 48 years in both. They also share similar rates of overseas births and a typical weekly personal income of around $622. However, gaps in education and income persist, as Allestree has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (12.1% compared to 5.9% in Heywood). First Nations residents also differ, with the typical age in Heywood being far older at 28 years, while the typical age in Allestree is just 9 years.
