Chiltern Valley Springhurst

Springhurst and Chiltern Valley are neighbouring Victorian areas with very different profiles. Springhurst is more family-oriented, with 18.9% of its population being children under 15, while Chiltern Valley has none. In contrast, Chiltern Valley is much older, with 35.1% of residents aged 65 and over compared to 22.6% in Springhurst. This difference extends to wealth and health; Chiltern Valley has a far higher share of high-income households earning $3,000 or more a week (31.3% versus 13.4%) and a much higher rate of long-term health conditions (46.8% versus 30.4%).

While the two areas are effectively alike in their preference for detached housing and their low rental rates, the gap in accessibility is widening. Springhurst has far more public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people, and more homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school or park. Chiltern Valley remains more car-dependent, with a much higher share of residents who drive to work. Both areas sit well above the national figure for typical resident age, though they remain similar in the share of people born overseas.
