Koonwarra Leongatha

Leongatha and Koonwarra are neighbouring Victorian areas with very different profiles. Leongatha is a larger hub where 68.4% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while Koonwarra is much smaller and car-dependent, with no homes within that distance of a shop. Residents in Koonwarra are far older, with a typical age of 53 compared to 45 in Leongatha. Education and income are also markedly different; 26.5% of adults in Koonwarra hold a bachelor degree or higher and 23.6% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, figures that are far higher than the 15.1% and 10.6% seen in Leongatha.

Everyday life in both places shares several commonalities, including a similar share of people born overseas and nearly identical typical monthly mortgage payments. They also both have low unemployment rates and similar drive times to the city. However, some gaps are widening; for example, the difference in the number of people working from home is far higher in Koonwarra. Leongatha remains more mobile, with a much higher share of people who have moved into the area in the last five years.
