East Sale The Heart

East Sale and The Heart are neighbouring areas in Victoria, but they differ sharply in their populations. East Sale is a young and highly educated place where the typical resident is 24 and 60.8% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. It is also a hub for Defence Force veterans, who make up 90.3% of the population. In contrast, The Heart is sparsely populated and older, with a typical resident aged 42 and a much higher share of children under 15 (26.7% compared to 1.4% in East Sale). Typical weekly personal incomes are also far higher in East Sale at $1,533, while they are $900 in The Heart.

Daily life in both areas is largely car-dependent, as neither has a walkability score above mostly car-dependent and both lack nearby public transport. This shared reliance on cars exists alongside a widening gap in movement; 92.8% of East Sale residents moved in the last five years, while only 15.4% of those in The Heart did. This suggests East Sale is becoming a more transient area compared to its neighbour.
