Longwarry Ripplebrook

Longwarry and Ripplebrook are neighbouring Victorian areas with very different characters. Longwarry is a younger place, where the typical resident is 34 and 40.7% of people have moved in over the last five years. It is more developed for pedestrians, with a walkability score of 4.5 (somewhat walkable) and many homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (82.7%) and parks (85.7%). In contrast, Ripplebrook is car-dependent, with a walkability score of 0.6 and no homes within a 15-minute walk of a park or grocery store. Residents there are far older, with a typical age of 43 and a much higher share of people aged 65 and over (22.8%).

Both areas share a very similar economic profile, with nearly identical typical weekly personal and family incomes. They also have a similar share of people who speak little or no English. While they track together on income, they differ in how they get around; Longwarry is far more reliant on trains, while Ripplebrook relies entirely on buses for public transport. This gap in transport and accessibility remains a sharp contrast between the two neighbours.
