Koorooman Leongatha

Leongatha is a larger hub that is somewhat walkable, while Koorooman is a sparsely populated area that is car-dependent. There are stark differences in wealth and lifestyle; the typical weekly household income in Koorooman is $2,107, which is far higher than the $1,183 seen in Leongatha. Koorooman has a much higher share of people working or looking for work (76.7% compared to 53.2%) and more people working from home. In contrast, Leongatha has more renters, more people living alone (33.1% compared to 9.5%), and far better access to shops, health services, and public transport.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining relatively stable in their overall characteristics. They share several commonalities, including a very low percentage of people who speak little or no English and similar school advantage scores. They also both have a higher share of people aged 65 and over compared to the national figure, and both areas are more likely than the average Australian to have no religion.
