Yarra Glen Yering

Yarra Glen and Yering are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different layouts. Yarra Glen is more developed, described as somewhat walkable, with 75.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Yering is car-dependent, with only 4% of homes near groceries. Yering has a much higher share of university-qualified adults (29.2% compared to 17.2% in Yarra Glen) and more high-earning households, with 47.1% earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 22% in Yarra Glen. Yarra Glen has a far higher share of people caring for children unpaid (30.8%) and higher typical incomes for First Nations residents.
