3011, VIC 3015, VIC

Postcode 3011 and postcode 3015 are neighbouring areas in Greater Melbourne with distinct living patterns. Postcode 3011 is a high-density hub where renting is common for 52.3% of households and many people live alone (34.9%). It is more culturally diverse, with 38.2% of residents born overseas and 34.9% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 3015 is more family-oriented, with a higher share of children under 15 (21.6%) and a typical resident who is slightly older at 38. Most people here live in separate houses, and 41.5% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, which is far higher than the 25.9% in postcode 3011.

Both areas share a very high level of amenity, with every home within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, and public transport. While they are similar in their overall advantage scores and school outcomes, the gaps in wealth and housing have grown since 2011. For instance, the difference in typical household income has widened to $660, and the gap in home ownership has also increased over the last decade.
