Avoca Tanwood

Avoca (Vic.) and Tanwood are nearby Victorian areas with very different scales of infrastructure. Avoca (Vic.) is more established, with 67.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a mostly car-dependent walkability score of 3.8. In contrast, Tanwood is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with no homes within walking distance of schools or groceries. Economic profiles also differ; the typical weekly household income in Tanwood is $1,375, which is well higher than the $923 seen in Avoca (Vic.).

Everyday life in both places shares a similar distance to the city, with drive times around two hours, and neither area has homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. Both locations have residents far older than the national figure, though the gap is even wider in Tanwood where the typical resident is 60. While Avoca (Vic.) has more public transport options and a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, both areas face similar typical monthly home-loan payments of around $1,100.
