Longford Seaspray

Longford (Vic.) and Seaspray are two nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Longford (Vic.) is a younger area with more children and larger homes, where the typical weekly household income is far higher at $2,024. In contrast, Seaspray has a much older population, with the typical resident aged 52 and 27.9% of people aged 65 and over. This age gap is reflected in the housing and health data; people living alone are far more common in Seaspray (36.5%), and the share of residents with a long-term health condition is far higher there at 39.7%.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who provide unpaid care. They are also alike in that every single home is a separate house and very few people use public transport to commute. However, their accessibility differs greatly. While Longford (Vic.) is car-dependent, Seaspray is mostly car-dependent but has far more amenities within a 15-minute walk, including grocery stores and parks.
