Seville Silvan

Seville and Silvan are neighbouring areas in the Yarra Ranges with very different layouts. Seville is somewhat walkable, with 71.2% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed and a high share of residents living within a short walk of parks and groceries. Silvan is car-dependent, and its walkability score is far lower. Silvan has more public transport stops and departures per person, but Seville has a higher number of amenity types within a 15-minute walk. Other key differences include home ownership, as 42.8% of Silvan homes are owned outright compared to 31.4% in Seville.

These two areas are effectively alike in many ways, including their typical weekly household incomes of around $2,150 and similar shares of volunteers. They also have nearly identical proportions of First Nations residents. While both are more residential than most areas, Silvan has a noticeably older population, with the typical resident being 41 compared to 37 in Seville. This older age profile in Silvan is consistent with a higher share of people aged 65 and over.
