Is your postcode the reason you feel unwell?

How much does your location impact your health?

In general, how would you characterise your physical health: poor, fair, good, very good or excellent?

More than 54,000 Australians answered this question for the Australia Talks National Survey.

And your response may well depend on where you live.

If you call Perth's wealthy beachside electorate of Curtin home, chances are you're feeling pretty good about yourself.

But if you live in the electorate of Gorton — in Melbourne's western suburbs — you might be a bit down on your health.

And then there's everyone in between.

Where do you fit?

The Australia Talks National Survey asked 54,000 Australians about their lives and what keeps them up at night. Use our interactive tool to see the results and how their answers compare with yours.

Then, tune in at 8:30pm on November 18, as the ABC hosts a live TV event with some of Australia's best-loved celebrities exploring the key findings of the Australia Talks National Survey.
