Horsham McKenzie Creek

Horsham and McKenzie Creek are nearby Victorian areas with very different characters. Horsham is a larger centre where 29.8% of households rent and 34.8% of people live alone. It is somewhat walkable, with 96.4% of homes within a 10 minute walk of public transport. In contrast, McKenzie Creek is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a strong focus on home ownership; 68.5% of homes are owned outright and 100% are separate houses. This area is more likely to have large families, with 38.8% of people providing unpaid childcare and 94.4% of homes having three or more bedrooms.

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, and the gap in how many people have moved recently is widening, with 38.5% of Horsham residents arriving in the last five years compared to just 17.2% in McKenzie Creek. Despite this, they share some similarities, such as a very low share of people who speak little or no English.
