3617, VIC 3618, VIC

Postcode 3618 and postcode 3617 are neighbouring Victorian areas that are both sparsely populated. Postcode 3618 is more walkable and has more local services, with 68.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries compared to 20.0% in postcode 3617. However, postcode 3618 has a much higher share of people with long-term health conditions (38.9% versus 26.7%) and one-parent families (17.3% versus 5.3%). In contrast, postcode 3617 is more car-dependent and has a much higher share of people working from home at 25.3%, compared to 14.5% in postcode 3618.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. The difference in the number of people living alone and those in one-parent families has grown, while the gap in rental rates has jumped from 1.2% to 14.3%.

They share nearly identical typical weekly personal incomes, around $550, and both have the same high rate of detached houses and the same lack of public transport for commuters.
