Balmoral Rocklands

Balmoral (Vic.) and Rocklands are two small, rural areas in Victoria. Balmoral (Vic.) is a more established hub with a typical resident aged 53, whereas Rocklands is sparsely populated with a typical age of 48. There are significant differences in wealth and health; the typical weekly personal income is far higher in Rocklands ($1,124) compared to Balmoral (Vic.) ($689). Conversely, Balmoral (Vic.) has a much higher share of people aged 65 and over (29.2%) and a far higher rate of long-term health conditions (34.5%) than Rocklands (12.0% for both).

Both areas are similar in that their residents typically have about 2.2 people per home, and neither has any public transport stops. This shared lack of transport is consistent with the fact that both are largely car-dependent, though Balmoral (Vic.) is slightly more walkable with more local shops and health services. While Balmoral (Vic.) is far more likely to have residents with no religion (49.1%) compared to Rocklands (12.0%), both areas have a very low share of people who speak little or no English, which sits near the national figure.
