Shoreham Wimbledon Heights

Shoreham (L) and Wimbledon Heights (L) are two nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Shoreham (L) is a much older and wealthier area, where the typical resident is 60 and the usual weekly household income is $2,013. It has a highly qualified population, with 42.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, residents in Wimbledon Heights (L) are younger, with a typical age of 45 and a typical weekly household income of $1,196. The two areas also differ in home ownership, as 62.1% of Shoreham (L) homes are owned outright compared to 28.2% in Wimbledon Heights (L).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have grown significantly across most measures. The age difference has widened to 15 years and the gap in university qualifications has increased to 28 percentage points. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas are effectively alike in some ways; both have the same tiny share of recent overseas arrivals and no residents who rely on public transport to get to work. They also both have a high proportion of people with no religion, well above the national figure.
