Terang Peterborough

Terang and Peterborough (L) are two nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Terang is a larger hub where 20.2% of residents are recent overseas arrivals, while Peterborough (L) has no recent arrivals from overseas. Terang has a higher share of one-parent families (17.2%) and a much higher rate of long-term health conditions (39.2%). In contrast, Peterborough (L) has a higher typical weekly income of $810 compared to $633 in Terang, and a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (23.1% versus 11.5%).

Everyday life shares some similarities in both places, as they both have very low rates of people using a language other than English at home. However, the gaps between them are shifting; residents in Peterborough (L) are now noticeably older, and the lead in university qualifications and working from home has flipped since 2011. While Terang provides better access to schools and health services within a 15-minute walk, Peterborough (L) is more likely to have homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport.
