Huon Creek Indigo Valley

Indigo Valley and Huon Creek are neighbouring Victorian areas with similar population sizes, but they have very different demographic profiles. Huon Creek is a much younger area, with 32.8% of people under 15 and a typical resident aged 36. In contrast, the typical resident of Indigo Valley is far older at 47. There are also significant income gaps; the typical weekly household income in Huon Creek is $3,042, which is far higher than the $1,875 found in Indigo Valley.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in their lack of public transport and the fact that no one is unemployed. They are also alike in that very few residents speak a language other than English at home. While Huon Creek has seen far more people move in over the last five years, both areas remain largely car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries.
