Scotts Creek (Vic.) and Glenfyne are two neighbouring rural areas with distinct profiles. Residents are far older in Scotts Creek (Vic.), where the typical age is 51, compared to 41 in Glenfyne. There is also a significant gap in wealth and housing; Glenfyne has a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (42.5% vs 19.2%) and higher typical home-loan payments.
