Goldstein Isaacs

Isaacs and Goldstein are nearby Victorian areas with very different lifestyles. Goldstein is a more affluent and walkable hub, where 44.8% of adults hold a university degree and typical weekly family incomes are $3,194. In contrast, Isaacs is more car-dependent, with a longer drive time to the city (35 minutes compared to 15 minutes in Goldstein) and a lower share of university graduates at 30.4%. Goldstein also has a much higher proportion of people working from home at 42.1%, while in Isaacs, this figure is 29.5%.

Everyday life is quite similar in both places when it comes to home size, the number of children per area, and the share of people with long-term health conditions. However, the gap between them is shifting; since 2011, the typical resident in Goldstein has become noticeably older than those in Isaacs, and the difference in high-income households has narrowed. While both areas sit above the national figure for family income, Goldstein is far more concentrated at the top end.
