3847, VIC 3873, VIC

Postcode 3847 and postcode 3873 are nearby Victorian areas with very different levels of accessibility. Postcode 3847 is somewhat walkable, with 57.2% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed and typical weekly rents of $250. In contrast, postcode 3873 is car-dependent, with no homes in a 15-minute walkshed and much lower typical weekly rents of $113. Postcode 3847 also has more residents aged 65 and over (21.8%) and a larger school population, while postcode 3873 has a higher share of children under 15 (20.4%).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways, with the gaps widening for rent, age and the share of people born overseas. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in some respects; for example, the typical monthly mortgage payment is nearly the same in both areas, and both have about 10% of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. This is also true for their housing, as both have about 82% of homes with three or more bedrooms.
