Dixie Terang

Terang and Dixie (Vic.) are neighbouring Victorian areas with very different profiles. Terang is more populated and developed, with a typical household income of $1,162 and a walkability score of 5.2 (somewhat walkable). In contrast, Dixie (Vic.) is much smaller and more car-dependent, though it has a far higher typical household income of $1,968. Terang has a higher share of one-parent families (16.4% vs 5.4%) and people living alone (32.0% vs 6.1%), while Dixie (Vic.) has a far higher share of people with no religion (50.7% vs 37.5%).

Everyday life shares some common traits in both places, such as the very low proportion of people who speak little or no English. They are also similar in the share of residents who use a language other than English at home. However, some gaps are wide; for example, Terang's population is noticeably older, and its residents have a far higher rate of long-term health conditions (38.1% compared to 23.6% in Dixie (Vic.)).
