Breakaway Creek Milltown

Milltown and Breakaway Creek are both sparsely populated areas in Victoria. They differ sharply in age and wealth: Milltown is much older, with a typical resident aged 54 and 28.3% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Breakaway Creek is far younger, with a typical resident aged 32 and 28.2% of the population being children. Educational and income levels also differ, with typical weekly household incomes far higher in Breakaway Creek at $2,083 compared to $949 in Milltown, and a much higher share of bachelor degrees in Breakaway Creek at 34.5%.

Both areas are effectively alike in their car-dependent walkability and have similar rates of people moving in over the last five years. They also share a lack of residents using a language other than English at home. While Milltown has more public transport stops and a higher share of people needing help with daily activities, both remain largely rural with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, health service, or grocery store.
