Benalla Lurg

Benalla and Lurg are nearby Victorian areas with very different characters. Benalla is a larger hub where the typical resident is more likely to rent, and the area has a much higher proportion of people aged 65 and over (30.8% compared to 17.7% in Lurg). It is a somewhat walkable area with significantly more public transport and services; for example, 57.4% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while Lurg has none. In contrast, Lurg is a car-dependent area where every home is a separate detached house. It has a higher share of adults working or looking for work (65.6% versus 49.6% in Benalla) and more people who have completed Year 12.

Both areas are almost identical in the share of people who have no religion, which sits at around 43%. They also share a very low rate of public transport use for commuting. While Benalla has many more people living alone and a higher rate of long-term health conditions, Lurg sees more people working from home. The gap in home ownership is wide, as Lurg consists entirely of detached houses, while Benalla has a more varied mix.
