Longlea Wellsford

Longlea and Wellsford are neighbouring rural areas in Victoria, but they have different family and financial profiles. Longlea is a younger area with far more children under 15 (24.2%) and more people caring for children unpaid (35.9%). It also has a more qualified workforce, with 50.7% of residents completing Year 12, and households earn more, with a typical weekly income of $2,203. In contrast, Wellsford is older, and it is far more common for residents to own their homes outright (49.0%).

Everyday life in both places is very similar in some ways. Both have a tiny percentage of people who speak a language other than English, and no one in either area commutes by public transport. They also share the same typical monthly mortgage payment of $1,733. While Longlea has more public transport stops and a higher share of volunteers, the gap in home ownership and typical income has remained a distinct feature of these two neighbours.
