Castle Donnington Swan Hill

Swan Hill and Castle Donnington are neighbours in Victoria, but they offer very different ways of living. Swan Hill is a larger centre that is very walkable, where 74.3% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 31.8% of households rent. In contrast, Castle Donnington is a sparsely populated area that is car-dependent; there is no renting and 50% of homes are owned outright. These differences extend to the people, with Swan Hill having a higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (4.2%) and people born overseas (13.2%), while Castle Donnington has more children under 15 (25.9%) and an older typical resident age of 43.

Daily life in both places shares several similarities, including a typical weekly family income of around $1,800 and nearly identical terrain slopes. Despite their different scales, the two areas also have a similar share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. While Swan Hill has far more public transport and a much higher number of people living alone (30.6%), both areas are similarly far below the national figure for the proportion of people born overseas.
