Flinders Ventnor

Ventnor (L) and Flinders (L) are nearby Victorian areas with similar population sizes, but they differ sharply in wealth and age. Flinders (L) is much older, with 48.2% of people aged 65 and over, and is far more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,977 compared to $1,206 in Ventnor (L). Higher education levels are also far more common in Flinders (L), where 41.1% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 25.7% in Ventnor (L).

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to their small proportions of people using other languages at home. This shared trait sits alongside a growing divide in other areas; for instance, the gap in the number of seniors has widened since 2011. While Ventnor (L) is mostly car-dependent, Flinders (L) is somewhat walkable and has far more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, groceries and schools.
