Clifton Springs Leopold

Leopold and Clifton Springs are two neighbouring areas in Greater Geelong with very different layouts. Leopold is much more walkable, with 56.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 45.7% near health services, compared to just 4.3% and 4.9% in Clifton Springs. This accessibility is supported by far more public transport stops and routes. In contrast, Clifton Springs has a noticeably older population, with a typical age of 48 compared to 41 in Leopold, and a higher share of people aged 65 and over (26.6% versus 21.2%).

Both areas are very similar in that about 18% of households rent and roughly 17% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. They also share a high proportion of separate houses and large homes with three or more bedrooms. While they share these basic housing patterns, the gap in walkability remains a major distinction between the two neighbours.
