Warragul Neerim South

Warragul and Neerim South are nearby Victorian areas with very different residential profiles. Warragul is a larger, more mobile hub with a higher share of renters (22.9%) and recent overseas arrivals (14.3%), while Neerim South is more stable with many homes owned outright (44.9%). The two differ sharply on accessibility; for example, 92% of Neerim South homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries compared to 42.2% in Warragul. However, Warragul has a far higher level of street connectivity, with 102 intersections per square kilometre compared to just 34 in Neerim South.

Since 2011, the two areas have moved in opposite directions regarding their populations and housing. While the gap in home ownership and the age of residents has narrowed, the difference in renting and overseas arrivals has widened. Despite these shifts, they share several characteristics, such as having the same average number of people per home (2.5) and very similar shares of children under 15. Both areas also sit well below the national figure for people born overseas.
