Lindenow Newlands Arm

Newlands Arm and Lindenow are two small Victorian areas with very different resident profiles. Newlands Arm is far older, with a typical age of 61 and 42.8% of people aged 65 or over, compared to a typical age of 44 and 23.8% of seniors in Lindenow. This older population in Newlands Arm is consistent with a higher rate of long-term health conditions (43.0%) and a much higher share of homes owned outright at 65.4%. In contrast, Lindenow is more welcoming to newcomers, with recent overseas arrivals making up 48.8% of the population compared to just 2.6% in Newlands Arm.

Both areas share a similar proportion of people born overseas and nearly identical rates of volunteering. They also both lack public transport, with no residents within 10 minutes of a stop. While they share these traits, the gaps between them are often growing; for example, the age gap has widened from 10 to 17 years since 2011. Lindenow also offers more convenience for families, as 78.5% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school, while no homes in Newlands Arm share that access.
