Bylands Wallan

Wallan and Bylands are neighbouring Victorian areas with very different profiles. Wallan is a larger, younger hub where the typical resident is 33, while Bylands is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical age of 48. This age gap is reflected in the homes; 46.3% of Bylands homes are owned outright compared to just 18.8% in Wallan. Wallan is also more connected, with 67.6% of homes within a 10 minute walk of public transport, whereas Bylands has no such access and is entirely car-dependent.

While the two areas share similar typical weekly incomes of around $2,000, the gaps between them are widening in some areas.
