Allestree Portland

Portland (Vic.) and Allestree are two nearby Victorian areas with very different layouts. Portland (Vic.) is a larger hub where 52% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and it is considered somewhat walkable. In contrast, Allestree is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of health services or groceries. There are also notable income gaps; 21% of Allestree households earn $3,000 or more a week compared to 9.3% in Portland (Vic.), and First Nations household income is far higher in Allestree at $2,250 against $1,154 in Portland (Vic.).

These two areas share a similar typical weekly personal income of around $620 and an identical rate of Year 12 completion at 36%. However, the gap in walkability has remained stark, as Portland (Vic.) continues to provide far more public transport and amenities than the more isolated Allestree. This contrast extends to the home environment, where Portland (Vic.) has far more renters at 26.7% compared to just 8.1% in Allestree.
