Banyan Woomelang

Woomelang and Banyan are two small Victorian localities with very different profiles. Woomelang is far older, with a typical resident aged 63 and 47.1% of people aged 65 and over. This high proportion of seniors is consistent with Woomelang's health data, where 49.2% of people have a long-term health condition and 14.1% need help with daily activities. Banyan is much wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $3,499 compared to just $745 in Woomelang. Woomelang is also more diverse, with 15.2% of residents born overseas, while no one in Banyan was born outside Australia.

Their difference in accessibility is widening, as Woomelang is somewhat walkable with 80% of homes within a short walk of groceries and health services.
