Elwood Windsor

Elwood and Windsor (Vic.) are neighbouring inner-city areas with a few distinct differences. Elwood is more geared towards families, with children under 15 making up 13.0% of its population compared to 6.3% in Windsor (Vic.). This is reflected in the home lives of residents, as Elwood has a far higher share of people caring for children unpaid (21.3% versus 11.0%). In contrast, Windsor (Vic.) is more international and less car-reliant, with 33.4% of people born overseas and 22.7% of homes having no motor vehicle, compared to 26.6% and 11.3% in Elwood.

Daily life in both places feels very similar, as they share nearly identical typical weekly household incomes of around $2,000 and a high proportion of people living alone. Both areas are predominantly made up of flats or apartments and have very few people per home. While they share these common traits, the two areas have tracked slightly differently; for example, the gap in the number of people born overseas has widened since 2011, with Windsor (Vic.) becoming noticeably more diverse than Elwood.
