Kalimna Lakes Entrance

Lakes Entrance and Kalimna are neighbouring areas in East Gippsland, though they offer very different living experiences. Lakes Entrance is a more connected hub, described as somewhat walkable, where 42.6% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 55% are near a school. In contrast, Kalimna is mostly car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a school and only 5.8% near groceries. Rental activity is also far higher in Lakes Entrance, where 27.5% of households rent, compared to 16.5% in Kalimna.

These two places have drifted further apart in their accessibility since 2011, with the gap in walkability scores widening by 2.3 points. Despite this, they share several everyday similarities, such as the proportion of people who earn $2,000 or more a week (3.1% in both). They also have nearly identical typical monthly home-loan payments, sitting around $1,230 to $1,260, and both areas have a higher share of people with long-term health conditions than the national figure.
