3786, VIC 3788, VIC

Postcode 3788 and postcode 3786 are neighbouring areas with similar population sizes, but they differ significantly in how people get around and access services. Postcode 3788 is somewhat walkable, with 59% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed and 51.2% within a 15-minute walk of health services. In contrast, postcode 3786 is mostly car-dependent; no homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services. Postcode 3786 is also more affluent, with a higher share of residents earning $2,000 or more a week (19.1% compared to 15.7% in postcode 3788) and more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (38.5% versus 34.7%).

Everyday life in both areas is very similar, with the typical resident being 45 years old and a nearly identical share of children under 15.
