3023, VIC 3024, VIC

Postcode 3024 and postcode 3023 are two large residential areas in Greater Melbourne with very different layouts. Postcode 3023 is much more walkable, with 79.4% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and 75% within a short walk of health services, compared to 47% and 19.2% in postcode 3024. Postcode 3024 is a younger area where the typical resident is 31, while the typical resident in postcode 3023 is 35. This younger profile in postcode 3024 is consistent with a higher share of children under 15 (27%) and more people moving in over the last five years (52.2%).

Since 2011, several gaps between these two neighbours have widened. The difference in home ownership has grown, with postcode 3023 now far higher in homes owned outright (26.9% compared to 13.8%). The age gap has also increased, and the difference in new arrivals has become much more pronounced. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain very similar in some ways; they have nearly identical typical weekly household incomes of around $1,900 to $2,000 and similar proportions of people with long-term health conditions.
