Epsom Wellsford

Epsom (Vic.) and Wellsford are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Epsom (Vic.) is a more populous and younger place, where the typical resident is 32 and children under 15 make up 24.7% of the population. It is a somewhat walkable area with typical weekly rents of $340. In contrast, Wellsford is sparsely populated and far older; the typical resident is 47, and 23.6% of people are aged 65 and over. This difference is reflected in housing, as homes in Wellsford are far more likely to be owned outright (49.0%) and typical weekly rents are much lower at $200.

Both areas share several common traits, such as having very similar numbers of people per home and a nearly identical share of people working from home. They also both have a high proportion of people who report no religion, well above the national figure. While they share these household patterns, their accessibility differs greatly; Epsom (Vic.) has many more public transport stops and services within walking distance, whereas Wellsford is car-dependent.
