Balmoral Pigeon Ponds

Balmoral (Vic.) and Pigeon Ponds are two small, rural areas located about 12km apart. Balmoral (Vic.) is a larger settlement with more local services; about 52% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 50% are near health services. It has a much older population, with a typical age of 53 and 29.2% of residents aged 65 and over. Pigeon Ponds is sparsely populated and has a starkly different economic profile, with a typical weekly household income of $2,374, which is far higher than the $1,211 seen in Balmoral (Vic.).

Both areas share a similar lack of public transport and a nearly identical proportion of people with no religion, around 49%.
