Beverford Swan Hill

Swan Hill and Beverford are nearby Victorian areas with very different layouts. Swan Hill is a larger hub and is very walkable, with 74.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a city center and a high share of renters (31.8%). In contrast, Beverford is car-dependent, where every home is a separate house and no homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. These differences extend to their populations; Swan Hill has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals (34.2%) and more one-parent families (16.5%), while Beverford's First Nations residents are far older and have a much higher typical household income.

Daily life in both places shares many similarities, such as a typical weekly household income of $1,390 and almost identical shares of children under 15. They also have very similar rates of volunteering and adults with university degrees. While Swan Hill remains a more mobile area with more people moving in recently, the two areas have tracked closely in terms of the proportion of adults working or looking for work.
