Milawa Oxley Flats

Milawa and Oxley Flats are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different characters. Milawa is a more family-oriented place, where 21.6% of people are children under 15 and 50.9% of residents finished Year 12. It is also more connected, described as somewhat walkable with a few local shops and a school. In contrast, Oxley Flats is a sparsely populated area with no children and a much older population, where the typical resident is 61. Many people here work from home (48.1%) and the area is car-dependent.

Both areas are similar in their typical weekly personal incomes, which sit around $820, a figure close to the national average. This financial similarity exists alongside a sharp divide in how people live and work. While Milawa has more people in de facto relationships and higher shares of those with no religion, Oxley Flats has a higher proportion of full-time employees and more people working in agriculture, forestry and fishing.
