Lima Swanpool

Swanpool and Lima are two small neighbours in Victoria. Swanpool has a larger population and is more walkable, with 23.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. However, Lima is younger, with 19.6% of its people under 15 compared to just 8.8% in Swanpool. This is consistent with a much higher share of people in Lima caring for children unpaid (30.8%). Swanpool has more people in de facto relationships (21.3%) and a higher rate of mental health conditions (11.0%), while Lima has a larger First Nations population (7.6%).

Both areas are almost identical in their housing and transport, with every single home being a separate house and no one using public transport to get to work. They also share a similar rate of people providing unpaid care. This shared rural character exists alongside differences in income; the typical weekly personal income is $737 in Lima, which is well higher than the $539 seen in Swanpool.
