3821, VIC 3824, VIC

Postcode 3824 and postcode 3821 are two nearby Victorian areas with very different levels of accessibility. Postcode 3824 is mostly car-dependent but far more walkable, with 52.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 69.5% within a similar walk of a school. In contrast, postcode 3821 is car-dependent and has no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. Postcode 3821 is also more advantaged, with a higher share of residents holding bachelor degrees (21.0% compared to 15.6%) and more households earning $3,000 or more per week (19.4% versus 15.9%).

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged in a few key ways, such as the gap in renting and university degrees both widening. However, they remain alike in many other ways, including a similar share of children under 15 and almost identical typical weekly personal incomes. Both areas have a population that is older than the national figure, though the gap between them in this regard has stayed steady over the last decade.
