Kyneton Kyneton South

Kyneton and Kyneton South are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different layouts. Kyneton is a larger hub that is somewhat walkable, where 60.2% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 16.8% of residents are children. In contrast, Kyneton South is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a higher share of residents owning their homes outright (52.6%) and every single home being a separate house with three or more bedrooms.

The typical weekly household income is almost identical in both places, sitting around $1,620. However, the gap in mobility is widening, as Kyneton continues to offer far more access to public transport and a much higher number of weekly departures per 1,000 people than Kyneton South. While both areas have a similar share of residents aged 65 and over, Kyneton South has a noticeably older typical resident at 53, compared to 47 in Kyneton.
