3008, VIC 3052, VIC

Postcode 3008 and postcode 3052 are neighbouring inner-city areas with distinct profiles. Postcode 3008 is more multicultural and wealthier, with 61.5% of residents born overseas and a typical weekly personal income of $1,182. In contrast, postcode 3052 has a higher share of people with no religion (54.7%) and a typical weekly income that is far lower at $588. Postcode 3008 is also more dominated by apartments, while postcode 3052 has a higher proportion of townhouses and more volunteers, at 24.4% compared to 9.8% in postcode 3008.

Since 2011, these two areas have drifted further apart in several key ways. The gap in overseas births and the use of languages other than English has widened significantly, and the difference in typical incomes has grown. However, they remain very similar in other areas; both have a five-minute drive to the city and similar typical weekly rents. They also share a high level of access to money, resources, and job skills, both sitting at the top rank for overall advantage.
