Junortoun Strathdale

Strathdale and Junortoun are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different lifestyles. Strathdale is more urban and accessible, with a walkability score of 5.2 (somewhat walkable) and a much higher share of renters at 24.9%. Junortoun is more car-dependent, scoring 2.4, and is dominated by separate houses (98.6%) and higher incomes, with 31.1% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. There are also stark differences for First Nations residents, who are far older in Junortoun (typical age 34) and have much higher household incomes ($3,124) compared to Strathdale (typical age 20 and $1,125 income).

These two areas are very similar in other ways, with almost identical rates of university qualifications, unemployment, and the number of people who have moved recently. This shared profile exists alongside a widening gap in housing and family life. Junortoun has seen a significant increase in large four-bedroom homes and families with children, while Strathdale has a much higher proportion of people living alone (30.3%) and more small households.
