California Gully Eaglehawk

Eaglehawk and California Gully are two neighbouring areas in Greater Bendigo with similar population sizes. Eaglehawk has a notably older population, with a typical resident aged 43 compared to 39 in California Gully, and a higher share of people aged 65 and over (23.0% versus 19.7%). While California Gully is more walkable for groceries and schools, Eaglehawk has far more public transport stops and a much higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (56.9% compared to 15.5%).

These areas have tracked closely since 2011, remaining very similar in several key ways. They share almost identical rates of people with no religion, typical weekly incomes, and the same proportion of First Nations people completing Year 12. Both areas also have similar typical weekly rents and very few people commuting by public transport. This stability is seen alongside a consistent gap in housing, where Eaglehawk has a higher share of homes owned outright and California Gully has more rental properties.
