Fish Point Lake Boga

Lake Boga and Fish Point are neighbouring areas in Victoria, though they differ greatly in scale. Lake Boga is a small town where the typical resident is 45 and typical weekly household incomes are $1,416. In contrast, Fish Point is sparsely populated and largely non-residential, with a younger typical age of 36 and a typical household income that is far lower at $762. Lake Boga has far more services, including a school and a walkability score of 3.4 (mostly car-dependent), while Fish Point is car-dependent with no local amenities.

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining distinct in their roles as a residential hub and a sparsely populated area. They share a similar number of people per home, averaging about 2.3 or 2.4. Both areas also lack health services within a 15-minute walk and have very similar, gentle terrain slopes.
