Harcourt Sedgwick

Harcourt and Sedgwick are nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Sedgwick is a much wealthier area, where the typical weekly household income is $2,391, compared to $1,430 in Harcourt. This gap is reflected in education and employment; Sedgwick has a far higher share of people who completed Year 12 and more adults working or looking for work. In contrast, Harcourt is more walkable and better connected, with more public transport stops and 38% of homes within a 15-minute walk of local amenities, while Sedgwick is car-dependent.

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, such as having nearly the same proportion of children under 15 and very few people who speak a language other than English at home. Both areas also have almost no residents who commute by public transport. While Harcourt has a higher share of people aged 65 and over and more recent arrivals from overseas, both areas have a similar proportion of First Nations residents.
