Loch Nyora

Nyora (Vic.) and Loch are neighbouring rural areas with very different age and housing profiles. Loch is far older, with a typical resident aged 50 compared to 41 in Nyora (Vic.), and it has a much higher share of people aged 65 and over (23.2% versus 14.2%). This difference is seen in the homes, where 45.1% of Loch residents own their place outright, while 56.3% of Nyora (Vic.) households have a mortgage. Nyora (Vic.) is more focused on families, with a higher share of couples with children (62.9%) and more large homes with three or more bedrooms (90.6%).

Everyday life in both places is similar in that typical weekly rents are nearly identical at around $320, and almost no one uses public transport to get to work. Both areas are also far more likely than the national figure to have residents who do not follow a religion. While Loch has more people working from home and a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree, the two areas remain alike in their typical weekly personal incomes and the prevalence of long-term health conditions.
