Lascelles Woomelang

Woomelang and Lascelles are two small rural areas in Victoria with very different profiles. Woomelang is an older community where the typical resident is 63 and nearly half the population is aged 65 or over. It is more walkable, with 80% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and groceries. In contrast, Lascelles is younger, with a typical age of 47, and is car-dependent. It has a larger share of families with children and higher typical weekly household incomes, which are $1,687 compared to $745 in Woomelang.

These two neighbours have tracked similarly over time, as they both share a total lack of public transport commuting and the same typical weekly rent of $100. They also both consist entirely of separate houses. While Woomelang has a higher rate of people living alone and more residents with long-term health conditions, Lascelles has a much higher share of people who identify with no religion. Both areas sit well below the national figure for Year 12 completion.
