Urban Centre comparison ≈ 30 km apart · Learmonth profile · Talbot profile

Learmonth Talbot

Learmonth and Talbot are both small, sparsely populated areas in Victoria. They differ sharply in age and wealth; residents are far older in Talbot, where the typical person is 61 compared to 46 in Learmonth. Learmonth is also wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $1,531, which is far higher than the $733 found in Talbot. Other gaps are notable: Learmonth has far more people in de facto relationships, while Talbot has a far higher share of people living alone and homes owned outright.

These differences have generally grown since 2011, with the gaps in typical age, income, and home ownership all widening. Despite this, the two areas share some common ground, such as very similar rates of volunteering and the same absence of public transport commuters. While both are mostly car-dependent, Talbot is slightly more walkable, as many more of its homes are within a short walk of a school or park.
