Geelong Teesdale

Geelong and Teesdale are nearby areas in Victoria with very different lifestyles. Geelong is a very walkable urban hub where 32.5% of households rent and 17.4% of residents arrived recently from overseas. In contrast, Teesdale is car-dependent and more residential, with a far higher share of separate houses (99.9%) and larger homes; 93.7% of homes there have three or more bedrooms. Geelong also has a much more diverse population, with 14.5% of people using another language at home compared to just 2.6% in Teesdale.

Both areas share the same typical resident age of 37 and have almost identical terrain slopes. Despite their different layouts, they have tracked similarly in some areas, such as the share of people who served in the Defence Force. While Geelong has much better access to schools and health services within a 15-minute walk, Teesdale has a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (25.8%) and a higher proportion of children under 15 (24.0%).
