Mount Evelyn Wandin East

Mount Evelyn and Wandin East are neighbouring areas in the Yarra Ranges with very different layouts. Mount Evelyn is a larger centre where the typical resident is 38 and the area is somewhat walkable, with 54.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. Wandin East is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a much older typical resident aged 49. Other key differences include school sizes, which are far higher in Mount Evelyn, and home ownership, with homes owned outright being far higher in Wandin East at 41.9% compared to 31.6% in Mount Evelyn.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in terms of their basic household makeup, with almost identical numbers of people living alone and similar typical weekly incomes. They are also alike in their housing style, as nearly every home in both places is a separate detached house. While Mount Evelyn has more public transport and a higher share of residents with no religion, both areas remain consistent with each other in their rates of volunteering and unpaid care.
