2731, NSW 3564, VIC

Postcode 3564 and postcode 2731 are nearby areas with very different levels of accessibility. Postcode 3564 is much more walkable, with 69.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 70.1% near a school, compared to 30.7% and 31.2% in postcode 2731. Postcode 3564 also has far larger schools, averaging 484 students compared to 288 in postcode 2731. However, postcode 2731 is far higher for access to money and resources, and is far higher for low levels of disadvantage.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions across several measures. The gap in the share of people living alone has widened, and the gap in rental rates has also grown, with renting now well higher in postcode 3564. At the same time, the gap in outright home ownership has narrowed. Despite these shifts, the areas remain very similar in other ways; they have the same share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (3.9%) and nearly identical typical weekly household incomes.
