East Bendigo Strathdale

Strathdale and East Bendigo are neighbouring areas in Victoria with different housing and amenity profiles. Strathdale has more large homes, with 84.4% having three or more bedrooms, and a higher share of people owning their homes outright at 45.7%. It is also more accessible for pedestrians, as 54.2% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services compared to just 13.3% in East Bendigo. In contrast, renting is far more common in East Bendigo, where 37% of households rent. This area also has more public transport options, with a much higher number of weekly departures per 1,000 people.

These two areas have tracked closely since 2011, remaining similar in several key ways. They share a nearly identical proportion of First Nations people (1.7%) and a very similar typical weekly rent, around $300. Both areas also have about a quarter of their population aged 65 or over. While they sit near each other, Strathdale's higher rates of Year 12 completion and bachelor degrees are consistent with its higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week.
