Heyfield Glengarry

Heyfield and Glengarry (L) are nearby Victorian towns with very different demographics. Heyfield is an older community where the typical resident is 47 and 30.5% are seniors. In contrast, Glengarry (L) is much younger, with a typical age of 37. There is also a significant wealth gap; the typical weekly household income in Glengarry (L) is $2,045, which is far higher than the $912 seen in Heyfield. This is reflected in the workforce, as 67.6% of adults in Glengarry (L) are working or looking for work, compared to just 43% in Heyfield.

Both towns are very similar in their access to basic needs, with about 86% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. They also share similar proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and very few people who speak little or no English. However, many trends have shifted since 2011. The gap in typical incomes has widened significantly, and the age difference has flipped, with Heyfield now becoming the older of the two areas.
