Loch Woodleigh

Loch and Woodleigh (Vic.) are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different levels of accessibility and income. Loch is more developed, with 38.7% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed and three schools within 3km, while Woodleigh (Vic.) has no such walkshed or schools. The financial gap is also wide; Loch has a typical weekly household income of $1,526 and 13.8% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, whereas Woodleigh (Vic.) has a typical income of $1,125 and no households in that top bracket.

Both areas have a similar share of children under 15, with Loch's 17.4% sitting around the national figure. They also share a similar residential profile, with about 23% of residents aged 65 and over and the same number of people per home. While Loch is described as mostly car-dependent and Woodleigh (Vic.) as car-dependent, they both rely almost entirely on cars to get to work, as neither area has any residents commuting by public transport.
