Macedon Tylden

Macedon and Tylden (L) are nearby Victorian areas with very different economic profiles. Macedon is much more affluent, with 39.2% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to just 10.8% in Tylden (L). This wealth is reflected in education and work; Macedon has a far higher share of residents with a bachelor degree or higher (37.9% vs 20.5%) and more people working from home (35.4% vs 20.9%). While Tylden (L) lacks easy access to groceries and health services, it is far more walkable for those wanting to reach a school, park, or public transport stop.

Everyday life in both places shares several common traits, including a similar number of children under 15 and the same typical number of people per home. They also have nearly identical typical weekly rents and shares of people born overseas. However, the gap in income and education has widened since 2011, while the difference in typical resident age has shrunk as Macedon has become noticeably older than Tylden (L).
