Orbost Lake Tyers Beach

Orbost and Lake Tyers Beach (L) are nearby areas in East Gippsland with very different layouts. Orbost is very walkable, with 85.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 84.8% near health services. In contrast, Lake Tyers Beach (L) is mostly car-dependent, where no homes are within a 15-minute walk of schools, groceries, or health services. There are also notable social differences; Orbost has a much higher share of people living alone (43.0%) and a higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (7.1%).

Many gaps between the two have widened since 2011. This is seen in education, where the share of people who finished Year 12 is now 14.6 percentage points higher in Lake Tyers Beach (L). This higher level of schooling is consistent with a more qualified workforce and higher pay, with typical household incomes being well higher in Lake Tyers Beach (L). Both areas are similar in other ways, such as the share of people who volunteer or those who speak only English at home.
