Halls Gap Willaura

Halls Gap and Willaura are two small Victorian areas with very different social profiles. Halls Gap is more professional and transient, with a typical resident aged 43 and a high share of adults with bachelor degrees (25%). It has a higher typical weekly personal income of $793 and a much higher proportion of renters at 40.9%. Willaura is notably older and more settled, with a typical age of 59 and a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (36.3%). In Willaura, home ownership is more common, with 58.1% of homes owned outright, while the typical weekly personal income is much lower at $458.

Everyday life is similar in both places in that households contain about the same number of people, and neither area has any one commuting by public transport. However, the two have moved in opposite directions since 2011; for example, the age gap has flipped, with Willaura now being the older of the two. While Halls Gap is described as somewhat walkable, Willaura is very walkable, with nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, groceries, and parks.
