Teesdale Meredith

Teesdale and Meredith (L) are nearby Victorian areas with very different housing and income profiles. Teesdale is a wealthier area where typical household incomes are well higher at $2,187 a week, compared to $1,525 in Meredith (L). It is also more family-oriented, with a higher share of children under 15 (24.0% versus 18.0%) and a much higher proportion of large homes with three or more bedrooms (93.7% compared to 73.3%). In contrast, Meredith (L) is more convenient for pedestrians; it is mostly car-dependent while Teesdale is car-dependent, and far more homes in Meredith (L) are within a 15-minute walk of a school (93.4% versus 23.6%).

The gap in high-income households has widened since 2011, with a far greater share of Teesdale households now earning $3,000 or more a week. However, the two areas share several common traits, such as similar proportions of people born overseas (around 10%) and a nearly identical share of homes owned outright. They also both have very low rates of public transport use for commuting, with both areas sitting well below the national figure.
