Learmonth Skipton

Skipton and Learmonth are nearby Victorian towns with very different social and economic profiles. Skipton is a much older community, with a typical resident aged 54 and 29.6% of people aged 65 or over. It is also more walkable, with a score of 5.7 (somewhat walkable) and many homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. In contrast, Learmonth is more car-dependent and has a higher typical weekly family income of $2,069, compared with $1,216 in Skipton. Learmonth also has a more qualified workforce, with 49.5% of residents completing Year 12, while that figure is 29.3% in Skipton.

These two areas have seen their economic gap widen significantly since 2011, particularly in typical household incomes. Despite this, they share a few similarities, such as a similar typical weekly rent of $200 and very small populations of people who speak a language other than English at home. While Skipton has a higher proportion of people who need help with daily activities, both areas sit well above the national figure for people with a mental health condition.
