Lorne Marengo

Lorne and Marengo (L) are two nearby Victorian areas with very different levels of accessibility and wealth. Lorne is a somewhat walkable hub where 67.3% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 53.8% are near a school. In contrast, Marengo (L) is mostly car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, health services or groceries. This difference in infrastructure is matched by a gap in income; 22.3% of Lorne households earn $3,000 or more a week, which is far higher than the 8.2% in Marengo (L).

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the share of people with no religion, at about 50%. They also share similar housing patterns, with 2.1 people per home in each place. While Lorne has many more recent overseas arrivals (22.0% compared to 0.0% in Marengo (L)), the gap in the typical age of residents has narrowed since 2011. Similarly, the difference in the share of homes owned outright has narrowed, though it remains well higher in Marengo (L) at 61.5%.
