3018, VIC 3026, VIC

Postcode 3018 and postcode 3026 are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different characters. Postcode 3018 is a very walkable area with an older population, where the typical resident is 42 and 19.5% are aged 65 or over. In contrast, postcode 3026 is much younger, with a typical age of 32 and a far higher share of children under 15 (27.8% compared to 17.6% in postcode 3018). Postcode 3026 also has a much larger proportion of people born overseas (47.9%) and those using a language other than English at home (58.1%).

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several measures. The gap in people living alone and those who own their homes outright has widened, with postcode 3018 now far ahead in both. Meanwhile, the share of people born overseas and those speaking other languages at home has grown much faster in postcode 3026. Despite these shifts, they remain similar in other ways, such as their typical weekly rents and the share of households earning $3,000 or more a week.
