Dunkley Goldstein

Dunkley and Goldstein are two nearby Victorian areas with very different residential profiles. Goldstein is a high-earning hub where 44.8% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and the typical weekly household income is $2,377. It is much more walkable, with almost every home within a 15-minute walk of health services and schools. In contrast, Dunkley is more car-reliant and suburban, with a far higher share of separate houses (81%) and larger homes; 80.9% of dwellings have three or more bedrooms.

The gap in household income has widened since 2011, reflecting the increasing contrast in wealth between the two. Despite this, the areas share several commonalities, including a similar proportion of people living alone (around 26%) and almost identical rates of full-time employment. Both areas also have roughly the same number of people per home, averaging 2.5, and similar shares of the population who have served in the Defence Force.
