Sugarloaf vs Wongarra

Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 3.0 km apart · Sugarloaf profile · Wongarra profile

Sugarloaf Wongarra

Wongarra and Sugarloaf (Vic.) are both sparsely populated areas in Victoria. They differ sharply in age and health, as Wongarra is far older with a typical resident aged 66 and 53.2% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, children under 15 make up 30% of the population in Sugarloaf (Vic.), while there are none in Wongarra. This age gap is reflected in health and income; people with long-term health conditions are far more common in Wongarra, though its typical weekly family income of $1,291 is far higher than the $725 found in Sugarloaf (Vic.).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 as car-dependent places with no public transport stops and no homes within easy walking distance of shops, schools or health services. They also share a similar lack of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. While Sugarloaf (Vic.) has seen more people move in over the last five years, both remain very small residential pockets with low typical personal incomes compared to the national figure.
