Seymour Pyalong

Seymour and Pyalong (L) are nearby Victorian areas with very different characters. Seymour is a more connected hub where 34.1% of households rent and 24.6% of people arrived recently from overseas. It is a somewhat walkable area where most homes are near public transport and parks. In contrast, Pyalong (L) is a car-dependent place where renting is rare at just 6.0% and almost no one has arrived from overseas recently. Pyalong (L) also has larger homes, with 87.4% having three or more bedrooms, compared to 76.1% in Seymour.

Since 2011, several gaps between these two areas have shifted or flipped. The typical age in Seymour is now noticeably older than in Pyalong (L), which is the opposite of the trend seen a decade ago. The gap in rental rates has also widened significantly. However, the two areas remain similar in other ways, such as having a nearly identical share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher and very similar unemployment rates.
