Jarrahmond Orbost

Orbost and Jarrahmond are neighbouring areas in East Gippsland with very different layouts. Orbost is a more populated hub that is somewhat walkable, while Jarrahmond is sparsely populated and car-dependent. This is seen in the access to services; for example, 72.8% of Orbost homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to 0% in Jarrahmond. There are also notable social differences: Orbost has far more people living alone (40.8% versus 20.9%) and a much higher share of one-parent families (18.3% versus 4.4%). In contrast, Jarrahmond has a higher share of homeowners who own their place outright (62.8% versus 52.6%).
