Camperdown Peterborough

Camperdown and Peterborough (L) are two Victorian areas with very different profiles. Camperdown is a larger hub with a very walkable layout, where 94.1% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services and 92.5% are near a school. In contrast, Peterborough (L) is sparsely populated and more car-dependent, though it has a more qualified workforce, with 23.1% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 12.9% in Camperdown. Health outcomes also differ, as long-term health conditions are far higher in Camperdown (37.9%) than in Peterborough (L) (23.8%).

Everyday life in both places shares some common ground, with about 32% of the population aged 65 or over and very few people using a language other than English at home. However, some gaps are shifting; while residents in Peterborough (L) are noticeably older, the gap has closed since 2011. At the same time, the difference in the share of people with no religion has widened, with 54.2% in Peterborough (L) compared to 37.9% in Camperdown.
