Warrnambool Noorat

Warrnambool and Noorat (L) are two nearby Victorian areas with very different scales and layouts. Warrnambool is a larger hub where 55.7% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed and 47.9% of residents finished Year 12. In contrast, Noorat (L) is a sparsely populated area where everyone lives in a separate house, the typical resident is far older at 51, and 32.1% of people do more than 15 hours of unpaid housework. Warrnambool is more connected, with a walkability score of 5.3 (somewhat walkable), while Noorat (L) is 3.0 (mostly car-dependent).

These two places share some basic traits, such as having the same number of people per home and a similar share of adults working or looking for work. However, the gap in how people access their needs is wide and persistent, as Warrnambool is far more likely to have homes within a short walk of groceries and health services. While both areas are well above the national figure for volunteering, Noorat (L) has a higher share at 23.8%.
