Fingal St Andrews Beach

St Andrews Beach and Fingal (Vic.) are neighbouring areas on the Mornington Peninsula with very different populations. St Andrews Beach is younger, with children under 15 making up 22.2% of residents, while Fingal (Vic.) is far older, with a typical resident aged 56 and 30.8% of people aged 65 and over. St Andrews Beach has a more walkable layout, with 65.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a walkability score of 2.4 (mostly car-dependent), compared to just 0.2% of homes near groceries and a score of 0.4 (car-dependent) in Fingal (Vic.).

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, including a typical weekly household income of around $1,930 and nearly identical unemployment rates of about 1.7%. Both areas are mostly car-reliant, with practically no one using public transport to get to work and every home owning a motor vehicle. However, the two areas are diverging in their demographics; the gap in the number of seniors has widened, and St Andrews Beach has seen a far higher increase in the share of people who have completed Year 12.
