Lockington Pyramid Hill

Pyramid Hill (L) and Lockington (L) are both small Victorian towns with very walkable layouts. Pyramid Hill (L) is far more diverse, with 22.3% of people born overseas and 18.1% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, only 6.1% of Lockington (L) residents were born overseas and 2.3% use another language at home. Pyramid Hill (L) also has a higher share of people living alone (41.8% compared to 30.8%) and more residents with bachelor degrees (13.9% versus 6.0%). Lockington (L) is older, with a typical age of 52 and 29.6% of people aged 65 and over.

These differences in diversity have become more pronounced, as the gap in overseas births has widened since 2011. Despite this, the two areas are very similar in other ways. They share almost identical typical weekly household incomes—around $950—and both are considered very walkable, with everyone living within a 15-minute walk of a park and groceries. Both areas also see very few people commuting by public transport.
