Swan Reach Tambo Upper

Swan Reach (Vic.) and Tambo Upper are neighbouring areas in East Gippsland with different local profiles. Swan Reach (Vic.) has a much older population, with 31.5% aged 65 and over, and is more accessible, with a walkability score of 2.2 (mostly car-dependent). In contrast, Tambo Upper is more car-dependent (score 0.1) and has a higher share of large homes, with 89.3% having three or more bedrooms. Tambo Upper also sees more people working or looking for work (66.2% compared to 46.3% in Swan Reach (Vic.)) and a typical family income that is well higher at $1,852 per week.

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining very alike in their share of children under 15 and the percentage of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. They both sit well above the national figure for the typical age of residents, though the gap between them has remained noticeable.
