3384, VIC 3478, VIC

Postcode 3478 and postcode 3384 are two nearby Victorian areas with very different layouts. Postcode 3478 is somewhat walkable, with 72.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 42.9% near health services. In contrast, postcode 3384 is car-dependent, where no homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services.

These two areas share a very similar social makeup, with almost identical rates of people born overseas, those using another language at home, and a similar typical weekly family income of around $1,300.
