Hamilton Coleraine

Hamilton and Coleraine (L) are two nearby Victorian towns with very different profiles. Coleraine (L) is a much older area, where the typical resident is 58 and 37.3% of people are aged 65 and over. Hamilton is younger, with a typical age of 45 and 26.7% of people aged 65 and over. Hamilton also has a better-qualified workforce, with 15% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 8% in Coleraine (L), and it has a higher typical weekly household income of $1,213 compared to $790 in Coleraine (L).

Both towns are somewhat walkable and share a similar landscape. They also have nearly identical proportions of people who served in the Defence Force and those who live in homes with no motor vehicle. While they share these traits, the gap between them has grown in many areas since 2011. This is especially true for housing and age, with the gap in typical resident age widening from 5 years to 13 years over that period.
