Mount Alfred Walwa

Walwa and Mount Alfred are neighbouring rural areas with very different resident profiles. Walwa is much older, with a typical resident aged 63 and 45.5% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Mount Alfred is younger, with a typical age of 40 and a far higher share of children under 15 at 25.6%. This age gap is reflected in incomes; typical weekly family income in Mount Alfred is $2,624, which is far higher than the $1,458 in Walwa.

Everyday life in both places shares a lack of local amenities, as no homes in either area are within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. Both are also primarily car-dependent, though Walwa is slightly more walkable and has more people working or looking for work. While Walwa has a far higher share of seniors and long-term health conditions, Mount Alfred has seen more people move in over the last five years.
