Hunterston Woodside

Woodside (Vic.) and Hunterston are two nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Woodside (Vic.) has a larger population of 374 and is much older, with 35.3% of residents aged 65 and over and a typical age of 56. It also has more facilities, including one school and more homes within a 15-minute walk of a park. Hunterston is sparsely populated with only 20 people and is far more affluent, with a typical weekly personal income of $1,083 compared to $575 in Woodside (Vic.).

Both areas are car-dependent and lack local public transport, groceries, and health services within walking distance. This shared reliance on vehicles is consistent across both places, which also report very similar terrain slopes. While Woodside (Vic.) has more children and people born overseas, Hunterston has a much higher share of one-parent families and people with a mental health condition.
