Heathcote Mount Camel

Heathcote (Vic.) and Mount Camel are neighbouring areas with very different scales and levels of service. Heathcote (Vic.) is a larger centre where typical weekly rent is far higher at $255, compared to $125 in Mount Camel. It is also much more accessible, with many homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services and schools, while Mount Camel is car-dependent. In contrast, Mount Camel is sparsely populated and has a far higher unemployment rate, at 18.5% compared to 5.2% in Heathcote (Vic.).

These two areas share a similar proportion of children and a similar typical monthly mortgage payment of around $1,300. While both are mostly car-dependent, the gap in walkability is far higher in Heathcote (Vic.). This difference in infrastructure and accessibility persists as a widening divide between the two neighbours, even as they remain alike in their levels of religious non-affiliation and the typical number of people living in each home.
