Bentleigh Ormond

Bentleigh and Ormond are neighbouring areas with different housing and transit profiles. Bentleigh has far more separate houses (59.7%) and larger homes, with 66.8% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Ormond is more apartment-focused and has far more schools per 1,000 children. Connectivity also differs; Ormond has a much larger number of people reachable by transit within 45 minutes (437,854) and a shorter trip to the city, while Bentleigh has far more public transport stops and routes.

These two places are very similar in other ways, with nearly identical typical weekly personal incomes and shares of people with no religion. This commonality extends to their demographics, as both have a high share of adults with bachelor degrees and a population that is well above the national figure for using another language at home. While both are highly connected, Ormond's transit advantages have grown, with its weekly public transport departures per 1,000 people now well higher than those in Bentleigh.
