Junortoun Wellsford

Junortoun and Wellsford are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different profiles. Junortoun is much larger and more developed, with more residents holding bachelor degrees (27.0% versus 15.2%) and a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (31.1% versus 17.6%). It is also more walkable, with a score of 2.4 (mostly car-dependent), while Wellsford is 0.2 (car-dependent). Junortoun has a younger population and more children, which is consistent with its higher share of families with children (67.7% versus 49.6% in Wellsford).

A gap that is widening is the difference in mobility and infrastructure. Junortoun has many more public transport stops and a far higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park (80.8% versus 4.6%). Despite these contrasts, the two areas are very similar in some ways, such as having an almost identical share of people born overseas (around 9%) and the same proportion of people per bedroom.
