Pearsondale Stradbroke

Stradbroke and Pearsondale are two sparsely populated areas in Victoria. Stradbroke is much older, with a typical resident aged 51 compared to 42 in Pearsondale, and a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (24.1% vs 13.6%). This age difference is mirrored in home ownership and work habits; 62.3% of Stradbroke homes are owned outright, and 30% of people work from home, compared to 40.9% and 10% in Pearsondale. Pearsondale has a higher share of children under 15 (22.4% vs 17.1%) and a higher typical family income of $2,333 a week, while Stradbroke's is $1,708.

Both areas are entirely car-dependent, with no public transport stops and no shops or services within a 15-minute walk. They are also alike in that every home is a separate detached house. The gap in the number of people working or looking for work is quite large, with Pearsondale at 72.2% and Stradbroke at 54.2%, a difference that has widened since 2011.
