Bolwarra (Vic.) is more likely to have families with children and people doing unpaid housework, with 25.9% caring for children and 29.8% performing 15 or more hours of housework weekly. It also has more homes owned outright at 52.1% and slightly higher typical monthly home-loan payments of $1,603. In contrast, Dutton Way is more likely to have residents working from home (20.5%), a higher share of people with long-term health conditions (47.3%), and a larger proportion of homes with three or more bedrooms (90.9%).
