Tongala Stanhope

Tongala and Stanhope (L) are nearby Victorian towns with very different layouts. Tongala is very walkable, with 97.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 95.2% near health services. In contrast, Stanhope (L) is mostly car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of those same services. Residents in Stanhope (L) are far older, with a typical age of 50 compared to 42 in Tongala, and they are much more likely to own their homes outright (49.1% versus 35.4%).

Both areas have similar proportions of people aged 65 and over, which sits around the national figure. They also share similar typical weekly rents of about $190 to $200 and nearly identical levels of long-term health conditions. While they share these traits, the gap in home ownership has widened since 2011, and the age difference has shifted, with Stanhope (L) now significantly older than Tongala.
