Kilmore Waterford Park

Kilmore and Waterford Park (L) are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different layouts. Kilmore is a larger hub where the typical resident is more likely to have finished Year 12 (46.3%) and is more likely to be aged 65 or over (20.5%). It is also much more accessible, with a somewhat walkable score and 85.3% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Waterford Park (L) is a small, car-dependent area consisting entirely of separate houses, where 61.8% of people have no religion and 27.3% of residents have arrived from overseas recently.

The gap in recent overseas arrivals has widened since 2011, as Waterford Park (L) now sees far more of these arrivals than Kilmore. Despite this, the two areas share a similar typical weekly household income, sitting around $1,500. They also have almost identical rates of people who speak little or no English and similar numbers of people per home.
