Avoca Cardigan Village

Avoca and Cardigan Village (L) are two very different Victorian locations. Avoca is a much older area where the typical resident is 51, and 33.7% of people are aged 65 and over. In contrast, Cardigan Village (L) is far younger, with a typical age of 32 and 32.0% of its population being children under 15. This age gap is reflected in the housing and wealth; Cardigan Village (L) has a far higher typical household income of $2,200 and more people with a Year 12 qualification (56.2%), while Avoca has a typical household income of $890 and 31.6% of residents finished Year 12.

These two areas have grown further apart since 2011, with the gaps in typical age, income, and the share of seniors all widening. Despite these diverging trends, they share some similarities, such as having almost no residents who speak little or no English. They also both have very low rates of public transport use for commuting, and neither area has any health services within a 15-minute walk.
