3217, VIC 3220, VIC

Postcode 3217 and postcode 3220 are nearby Victorian areas with very different characters. Postcode 3217 is a young, family-oriented area where the typical resident is 30 and 24.4% of people are children under 15. This is reflected in the housing, as 95.6% of homes have three or more bedrooms and 96.2% are separate houses. In contrast, postcode 3220 is a walker's paradise with a typical age of 40 and a much higher share of people living alone (32.6%) or owning their home outright (35.5%).

Both areas are almost identical in their overall advantage scores, which sit right around the national average. They also share similar levels of education, with about 69% of adults completing Year 12, and similar proportions of recent overseas arrivals. While they share these baseline traits, the gap in their layouts is stark; postcode 3220 is far more walkable and has much better access to groceries and health services than postcode 3217.
