Trentham Dales Creek

Trentham (L) and Dales Creek (L) are nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Trentham (L) is a very walkable area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 58 compared to 40 in Dales Creek (L). This age gap is reflected in the population, as people aged 65 and over are far more common in Trentham (L) (36.4% versus 11.7%). Residents in Trentham (L) are also far more likely to have a bachelor degree or higher (31.4% versus 15.0%) and to own their homes outright (48.6% versus 18.7%).

The gap between these two places has grown since 2011 across many measures, including the typical age and the number of people working from home. Both areas share some similarities, such as having almost no one who speaks a language other than English at home and very similar proportions of people with no religion. While Trentham (L) is a very walkable hub with many nearby amenities, Dales Creek (L) is car-dependent, with no services within a 15-minute walk.
