Balook Koornalla

Koornalla and Balook are both sparsely populated areas in Victoria. Residents are far older in Balook, where the typical age is 59, compared to 47 in Koornalla. Balook is also much further from the city, with a drive time of 226 minutes, which is far higher than the 121 minutes for Koornalla. While Koornalla has one school within 3 km, Balook has none. The terrain is also different, with the slope well higher in Koornalla at 17.6% compared to 9.9% in Balook.

Both areas share a very similar home life, with the typical family and household weekly incomes sitting at around $1,800 to $1,900. In both places, the number of people per home is 2.8. They are also both car-dependent, as no homes are within a 15-minute walk of public transport, parks, schools, or groceries. This total lack of walkable access is a common trait for both neighbours.
