Golden Gully Quarry Hill

Quarry Hill and Golden Gully are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different lifestyles. Quarry Hill is a very walkable area where 32.7% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher, compared to just 10.5% in Golden Gully. Education levels are far higher in Quarry Hill, where 65.0% of residents completed Year 12, while only 38.6% did in Golden Gully. The two areas also differ in housing; Golden Gully has a far higher share of homes owned outright (47.6% against 34.0%) and more separate houses (98.8% against 85.6%).

These differences in accessibility and education have remained distinct, while other shared traits keep the two areas similar. Both places have nearly the same share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and typical weekly household incomes that sit around $1,600. While Golden Gully is mostly car-dependent, both areas are alike in that almost no one uses public transport to commute to work. This suggests that despite the differences in local walkability, both areas rely heavily on cars for the daily trip to work.
