Nilma Warragul

Warragul and Nilma are neighbouring Victorian areas with very different lifestyles. Warragul is a larger, more mobile hub where 47% of people moved in within the last five years and 14.1% arrived recently from overseas. It is more walkable (somewhat walkable) with better access to transport, health services and groceries. In contrast, Nilma is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of shops or health services. The two areas differ sharply in their First Nations populations; the typical First Nations resident in Nilma is far older (48) and earns a far higher personal income ($1,187) than those in Warragul, where the typical age is 23 and income is $534.

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, including very similar typical weekly personal incomes (around $740) and a nearly identical proportion of adults working or looking for work. Both areas also have a similar share of First Nations people. While they share these basics, their housing and family structures vary; Warragul has far more renters (22.5%) and one-parent families (14.4%), while Nilma has a higher share of children under 15.
