Chiltern Indigo Valley

Chiltern and Indigo Valley are nearby Victorian areas with very different layouts. Chiltern is somewhat walkable, with 71.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a city center, and a higher number of people living alone at 31.2%. In contrast, Indigo Valley is car-dependent, where no homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. Indigo Valley has a more highly qualified workforce, with a far higher share of residents completing Year 12 (56.0% compared to 41.1% in Chiltern) and a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (22.6% versus 10.0%).

The gap in educational attainment has widened since 2011. Despite this difference, the two areas share some common traits, such as having almost identical shares of people who use another language at home. Both areas also have populations that are older than the national figure, though this is more pronounced in Chiltern, where the typical resident is 50.
