Coleraine Hilgay

Coleraine and Hilgay are neighbouring areas in Victoria, but they differ sharply in size and layout. Coleraine is a larger hub where the typical resident is far older at 56 and 34.6% are seniors. This older population is linked to a higher need for health support, with 40.5% of people living with a long-term health condition and 11.3% needing help with daily activities. In contrast, Hilgay is sparsely populated and much wealthier; the typical weekly household income is $2,124, which is far higher than the $850 seen in Coleraine.

These two areas have drifted apart in their accessibility, as Coleraine is now somewhat walkable while Hilgay remains car-dependent. While they share similar typical family incomes and have the same school advantage scores, the gap in their living conditions is wide. Hilgay has larger households with 3.2 people per home, whereas Coleraine averages just 1.9. This contrast is also seen in their workforces, with adults in Hilgay far more likely to be working or looking for work at 59.1%.
