Rosedale Wurruk

Rosedale and Wurruk are two nearby Victorian areas with very different layouts and lifestyles. Rosedale is very walkable, with 87.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 98.2% near a school. In contrast, Wurruk is mostly car-dependent, where no homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. There are also notable economic gaps; 19.8% of Wurruk households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 9.2% in Rosedale, and the typical family income is well higher in Wurruk at $1,850 against $1,455 in Rosedale.

These two places have diverged in several ways since 2011. While they share the same typical resident age of 42 and identical typical weekly rents of $250, the gaps in education and income have widened over time. For example, the difference in Year 12 completion rose from 2% to 11.8%, and the gap in high-earning households grew from 0.8% to 10.7%. Other shifts have seen the lead flip in Rosedale for people aged 65 and over and those living alone.
