Horsham Vectis

Horsham and Vectis are two nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Horsham is a much larger center where a higher proportion of people live alone (34.8%) and more residents are aged 65 and over (22.6%). In contrast, Vectis is sparsely populated and more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $2,104, which is far higher than the $1,294 seen in Horsham. Vectis also has a higher share of homes owned outright (50.8%) and a higher percentage of adults working or looking for work (71.1%).

While the two areas share similar rates of de facto relationships and a low number of people who speak little or no English, the gap in their walkability is stark. Horsham is somewhat walkable with a variety of local amenities, whereas Vectis is car-dependent. This divide is seen in the local infrastructure, as Horsham has many more public transport stops and a far higher share of homes within a short walk of schools and groceries.
