Neerim South Nilma

Neerim South and Nilma (L) are nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Neerim South is more walkable (somewhat walkable) and has much better access to schools, health services, and groceries. It is also more aged, with 28.1% of residents aged 65 and over, and has seen significant movement, with 42% of people moving in recently.

They also both have very low shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and no residents who speak little or no English.
