Koroit Tower Hill

Koroit and Tower Hill are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different characters. Koroit is a larger centre where the area is somewhat walkable and 60.1% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Tower Hill is sparsely populated and car-dependent. There are also sharp economic and social differences; the typical weekly household income in Tower Hill is $2,437, far higher than Koroit's $1,466. While 44.6% of people in Koroit have no religion, that figure is much lower in Tower Hill at 24.1%.

These two areas share a great deal in other ways, including almost identical typical weekly rents of around $280 and the same average school size. They are also alike in how they are housed, with about 40% of homes in both places owned outright. These commonalities exist alongside a widening gap in wealth, as the share of households earning $3,000 or more a week is far higher in Tower Hill.
