Horsham Longerenong

Horsham and Longerenong are nearby Victorian areas with very different characters. Horsham is a larger centre where residents are far older, with a typical age of 40 compared to 32 in Longerenong. It is much more developed, with a walkability score of 5.9 (somewhat walkable) and far more people with bachelor degrees (14.7% versus 2.5%). Longerenong is more sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a walkability score of 0.9. It is also more likely to have homes owned outright, at 60.0% compared to 36.1% in Horsham.

These two areas have tracked similarly in some ways since 2011, and they now share a very similar typical weekly household income of around $1,300. They also have nearly the same share of people born overseas. However, the lifestyle gap remains wide; Horsham has a far higher proportion of renters and many more people working in health care, while Longerenong has far more people working from home and a much higher share of residents employed in agriculture.
