Killingworth Limestone

Killingworth and Limestone are two sparsely populated areas in Victoria. Killingworth has a typical weekly personal income of $809, which is well higher than the $545 typical for Limestone. This area is also more likely to have larger homes, with 91.7% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms compared to 68.9% in Limestone. In contrast, Limestone has a much older population; the typical resident is 59 and people aged 65 and over make up 43.8% of the population, whereas these figures are 54 and 24.4% in Killingworth.

Both areas are car-dependent and have the same lack of public transport.
