3006, VIC 3051, VIC

Postcode 3006 and postcode 3051 are neighbouring inner-city areas that differ most in their populations and housing. Postcode 3006 has a much higher proportion of overseas-born residents at 61.2% and more people who use a language other than English at home (48.8%). It is also more transient, with 75.4% of people moving house in the last five years. In contrast, postcode 3051 has a larger share of families with children, with 11.6% of its population being under 15, and more larger homes, as 25.1% of dwellings have three or more bedrooms.

These two areas share a very similar typical resident age of 31 and nearly identical typical weekly family incomes of around $2,450. They also both have very high rates of renting, well above the national figure. While they track closely in some areas, the gap in overseas births and home language use has widened since 2011, and the difference in the number of people without a religion has also grown.
