Ballendella Diggora

Ballendella and Diggora are two sparsely populated areas in Victoria. Ballendella is notably older, with a typical resident aged 56 and a very high share of seniors at 34.2%. This older population is consistent with a higher need for help with daily activities (6.7%) and more people with long-term health conditions (38.3%). In contrast, Diggora has a younger feel, with more children under 15 and a typical weekly household income that is well higher at $1,625, compared to $1,166 in Ballendella.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining remote places where everyone owns a motor vehicle and no one uses public transport. They share a very small percentage of overseas-born residents and similar rates of unemployment. While Diggora has seen more people move in over the last five years, both stay well below the national figure for recent arrivals.
