Bayside Frankston

Frankston and Bayside (Vic.) are both large areas in Greater Melbourne, though they differ sharply in wealth and education. Bayside (Vic.) has a much higher proportion of university degrees (44.0% compared to 18.7% in Frankston) and typical family incomes are far higher, at $3,361 per week versus $2,098 in Frankston. This gap in wealth is seen in the homes too; 41.3% of Bayside (Vic.) residents own their home outright, while 27.5% do so in Frankston, where separate houses are far more common. Frankston also faces much higher rates of crime, including theft and property damage.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, such as having the same typical number of people per home (2.5) and almost identical rates of full-time employment. They also share similar levels of unpaid care and a similar number of public transport stops per 1,000 people. However, the gap in how people work is widening; the share of people working from home is far higher in Bayside (Vic.) and the difference has grown significantly since 2011.
