Flinders Goldstein

Goldstein and Flinders are two Victorian areas with very different profiles. Goldstein is a highly walkable (a walker's paradise) hub where 44.8% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and the typical family earns $3,194 a week. In contrast, Flinders is more spread out and somewhat walkable, with 20.0% of adults holding a degree and a typical family income of $1,964. Goldstein is also much more diverse, with 30.6% of people born overseas and 20.4% using another language at home, compared to 17.1% and 5.3% in Flinders.

Both areas share similar rates of unemployment and a similar number of public transport stops per 1,000 people. While they share these basics, the gap in income and education has widened since 2011, and the number of people working from home has grown much faster in Goldstein. Flinders remains more reliant on detached houses, which are far higher in Flinders (84.7%) than in Goldstein (58.2%).
