Dookie (L) and Shepparton East (L) are two small, residential areas in Victoria. Dookie (L) is a more walkable place, with a typical resident aged 48 and a high share of volunteers at 26.4%. In contrast, Shepparton East (L) is car-dependent, with a younger typical resident of 40 and a higher proportion of adults working or looking for work (69.6%). There are also notable differences in income; the typical weekly household income in Shepparton East (L) is $1,656, which is well higher than the $1,224 seen in Dookie (L).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted apart in several key ways. The age gap has widened, with residents now far older in Dookie (L), and the income gap has also grown. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in some respects. Both areas are made up entirely of separate houses, and neither has any residents who speak little or no English or any recent overseas arrivals.
