Cheshunt Whitlands

Cheshunt and Whitlands are both sparsely populated areas in Victoria. Cheshunt is more family-oriented, with 18.8% of people being children under 15, compared to none in Whitlands. This is reflected in the workforce and home life, as 25.1% of Cheshunt residents provide unpaid childcare, while no one in Whitlands does. Whitlands is more expensive and better qualified; the typical weekly household income is well higher at $1,375, and more people have finished Year 12 (57.6% compared to 43.3% in Cheshunt).

Both areas share similar typical family incomes of $1,625 and an equal number of schools within 3 km. However, a gap is widening in how people move and live, as Cheshunt has more public transport stops and departures, and 23.4% of its homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, whereas no homes in Whitlands have this access. This reflects a broader difference in age and health, as Whitlands is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 56 and a far higher share of people living with a long-term health condition (43.2%).
