Chum Creek Toolangi

Chum Creek and Toolangi are neighbouring rural areas in Victoria with different local profiles. Chum Creek is the larger of the two and has a higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (3.2% compared to 0.0% in Toolangi). The two areas differ most in their schools; Chum Creek has far larger average school sizes (218 versus 41), though Toolangi has a much higher number of schools per 1,000 children. Accessibility also varies, with 62.5% of Chum Creek homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, compared to 40.1% in Toolangi.

Both areas share a similar housing style, as 100% of homes in both places are separate detached houses. They also have nearly identical rates of outright home ownership and very few people who speak little or no English. These commonalities persist even as some gaps shift over time, such as the difference in typical resident age, which has seen Toolangi become noticeably older than Chum Creek by 3 years.
