Burnside Cairnlea

Cairnlea and Burnside (Vic.) are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different levels of local access. Cairnlea is very walkable, with 96% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and 92% near groceries. Burnside (Vic.) is only somewhat walkable and has much lower access to these services, with both figures sitting around 45%. Cairnlea is also more culturally diverse, as 69.2% of residents use a language other than English at home compared to 53.3% in Burnside (Vic.).

These two areas have tracked closely since 2011, remaining similar in several key ways. They share almost identical typical weekly rents of $400 and similar typical personal incomes. Both are far above the national figure for the share of people born overseas, and they have nearly the same percentage of people providing unpaid care. While they have evolved together in these respects, Burnside (Vic.) remains older, with a higher share of people aged 65 and over (15.9% compared to 10.3% in Cairnlea).
