Drayton Vale View

Drayton and Vale View are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Drayton is a younger place, with a typical resident aged 36 compared to 44 in Vale View. It is much more transient and diverse, with 40.8% of people moving in during the last five years and 23.7% arriving from overseas, while Vale View has no recent overseas arrivals. Life in Drayton is also more urban; 40.5% of homes are rented and typical weekly incomes are lower at $1,362. In contrast, Vale View is wealthier and more stable, with typical weekly incomes of $2,366 and 48.0% of homes owned outright.

Since 2011, these two areas have tracked differently, with Drayton becoming far more connected while Vale View remains more isolated. Drayton is now somewhat walkable and has many people living within a 15-minute walk of parks and groceries, whereas Vale View is car-dependent. Despite these contrasts, they share some basic traits, such as having nearly the same proportion of people aged 65 and over (around 18%) and very similar rates of long-term health conditions.
