Taroon Terang

Terang and Taroon are nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Terang is a larger center where many more people have a long-term health condition (38.1%) and more people are born overseas (6.0% in Terang compared to 28.0% in Taroon). Taroon is sparsely populated and has a much higher typical weekly household income, with $1,875 compared to $1,162 in Terang.

Both areas share a similar proportion of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, sitting around 13%. This commonality exists alongside a stark contrast in their layouts; Terang is somewhat walkable with many homes within a 15-minute walk of shops and health services, while Taroon is car-dependent. This differs from the way people live and work, as adults in Taroon are far more likely to work from home or be in managerial roles, while those in Terang more often work in community services or as labourers.
