Kerang Wandella

Kerang and Wandella (Vic.) are nearby Victorian areas with very different layouts. Kerang is a larger centre where people are far older, with a typical resident aged 51 and 30.9% aged 65 or over. It has a higher share of people living alone (38.6%) and one-parent families (17.2%). This is reflected in its infrastructure, with a walkability score of 5.4 (somewhat walkable) and far more homes within walking distance of health services and groceries. In contrast, Wandella (Vic.) is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with every home being a separate house and a much higher share of people working from home (22.2%).

The gap in how people get to work is widening, as far more people in Kerang now rely on driving compared to Wandella (Vic.). Despite this, the two areas share a similar typical weekly income of around $600 and have almost identical shares of children under 15. They also track closely in their levels of mental health conditions and the number of bedrooms in their homes.
