Linton Pittong

Linton and Pittong are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different population sizes. Linton has 635 people and is more developed, with typical weekly rents of $300 and a walkability score of 2.0 (mostly car-dependent). In contrast, Pittong is sparsely populated with only 12 residents, where the typical resident is far older at 58 and weekly rents are much lower at $100. While Linton has a typical weekly personal income of $635, this is well lower than the $900 typical in Pittong.

Everyday life in both places shares a similar distance to the city, taking around 100 minutes to drive. They also share the same typical household income, sitting just under $1,200 a week, and both have a single school within 3 kilometres. However, the two areas differ greatly in accessibility; Linton has more public transport stops and routes, while Pittong has none. This gap in infrastructure means more homes in Linton are within a 15-minute walk of a school or park.
