Casterton Wando Vale

Casterton and Wando Vale are nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Casterton is a larger centre with a far older population, where the typical resident is 58 and 37.8% are seniors. This is consistent with a higher need for daily help (11.8%) and more people with long-term health conditions. In contrast, Wando Vale is sparsely populated and has a more working-age population, with far more adults working or looking for work (81.9% compared to 43.8% in Casterton) and a typical weekly income that is far higher at $1,583.

These two areas have seen their differences in workforce and lifestyle widen since 2011. While they share similar proportions of children and people who have moved recently, they differ sharply in daily habits. Wando Vale is car-dependent, with far more people working from home (30.6%) and volunteering. Casterton is somewhat walkable, providing much better access to schools, health services, and groceries within a 15-minute walk.
