Anglesea Fairhaven

Anglesea and Fairhaven are neighbouring areas in Victoria that offer different lifestyles. Anglesea is more walkable (somewhat walkable) with 62% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 51.5% near health services. Fairhaven is mostly car-dependent, with only 0.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. There is also a significant gap in income; Fairhaven's typical personal weekly income is $1,143, which is well higher than the $852 seen in Anglesea.

The two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, though Fairhaven is increasingly more professional, with a higher share of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher (47.8% compared to 39.4% in Anglesea). Both places have much higher proportions of seniors than the national figure, and they share very similar home sizes and an almost identical number of public transport routes. This commonality exists despite a widening gap in remote work, as 40.5% of people in Fairhaven now work from home compared to 30.2% in Anglesea.
