Colac Warncoort

Colac and Warncoort are nearby areas in Victoria with very different profiles. Colac is a larger centre with more people living alone (38.7%) and a higher number of one-parent families (20.0%). It is much more walkable, with 86% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed. In contrast, Warncoort is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with all homes being separate houses. It is a wealthier area where the typical household income is $2,250, compared to $1,108 in Colac, and far more people work from home (34.7% versus 5.5%).

While the two areas differ in wealth and layout, they share a similar proportion of people born overseas (around 11%) and those in de facto relationships. The gap in education and income between these two places has widened since 2011. This is seen in the typical weekly personal income, which is now $405 far higher in Warncoort. This trend is also evident in qualification levels, with bachelor degrees far more common in Warncoort (23.3%) than in Colac (10.3%).
