Capels Crossing Kerang

Kerang and Capels Crossing are two neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different scales. Kerang is a larger hub where residents are far older, with a typical age of 51 and 30.9% aged 65 or over. This older population is consistent with a much higher rate of long-term health conditions (38.9%) and a higher share of volunteers (24.2%). In contrast, Capels Crossing is sparsely populated and much younger, with a typical age of 36. Kerang is also a hub for services; it is somewhat walkable and has many people within a 15-minute walk of schools, health services and groceries, while Capels Crossing is car-dependent.

These two places share a very similar typical weekly household income, with Kerang at $1,006 and Capels Crossing at $1,062. While they are alike in this regard, they differ in their workforces; Kerang has a higher share of adults working or looking for work (46.9%) and more full-time employment. The two areas have also tracked differently since 2011, as Kerang has seen a much higher rate of people moving into the area over the last five years.
