Leongatha Leongatha North

Leongatha and Leongatha North are neighbouring Victorian areas with very different profiles. Leongatha is a larger hub where 33.1% of people live alone and 15.8% of families are one-parent households. It is a somewhat walkable area with many residents living within 15 minutes of schools, health services, and groceries. In contrast, Leongatha North is sparsely populated and car-dependent. It has a more affluent population, with 37.0% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 10.6% in Leongatha. Qualifications are also far higher in Leongatha North, where 27.9% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher.

These two areas share a similar typical age and a low share of people who speak little or no English. However, the gap in how people work is widening, as working from home is far higher in Leongatha North at 26.8%, compared to 9.8% in Leongatha. This is consistent with the higher proportion of managers and a larger share of households earning well above the national figure in Leongatha North.
