Eildon Sawmill Settlement

Eildon (L) and Sawmill Settlement (L) are two small Victorian areas with very different profiles. Eildon (L) is an older community where the typical resident is 55, and 31.2% of people are aged 65 or over. It is described as somewhat walkable, with many homes within a 15-minute walk of schools and groceries. In contrast, Sawmill Settlement (L) is younger, with a typical age of 46 and a car-dependent layout. It has a more qualified workforce, with 26.0% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to just 8.9% in Eildon (L).

Since 2011, the two areas have moved in opposite directions across several measures. The gap in typical age has widened, and the lead has flipped for typical weekly household incomes, which are now far higher in Sawmill Settlement (L) at $1,437. Despite these shifts, both areas remain alike in some ways, such as having almost no residents who speak little or no English and similar rates of people moving in the last five years.
