Limestone Yea

Yea and Limestone (Vic.) are nearby Victorian areas with very different characters. Yea is a larger hub where a typical household earns $1,046 a week, while Limestone (Vic.) is sparsely populated and has a far higher typical weekly household income of $1,687. Yea is much more accessible, with a walkability score of 4.7 (somewhat walkable) and many homes within a short walk of schools, shops, and health services. In contrast, Limestone (Vic.) is car-dependent, with no amenities within a 15-minute walk and a much longer drive time to the city.

Since 2011, these two areas have tracked differently, particularly regarding their residents. Yea has seen far more movement, with 38.9% of people moving in the last five years compared to 23.5% in Limestone (Vic.). They do share some similarities, such as having almost no residents who speak little or no English and similar weekly personal incomes. Both areas also have a large number of older residents, though this is more pronounced in Limestone (Vic.), where 43.8% are aged 65 and over.
