Research Wattle Glen

Research and Wattle Glen are neighbouring areas in Victoria that differ mostly in their wealth and accessibility. Research has a more affluent population, with 44.5% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 33.8% in Wattle Glen. It also offers better access to services, with 42% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, while Wattle Glen has none. Research is more connected by public transport, with far more stops and weekly departures per person.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people with a long-term health condition, though Wattle Glen's rate is slightly higher. They are very similar in other ways, including having an almost identical share of people born overseas and the same typical number of people per home. While both are well-off compared to most of Australia, the gap in high-income earners has grown since 2011.
