3027, VIC 3029, VIC

Postcode 3029 and postcode 3027 are neighbouring areas in Greater Melbourne with very different profiles. Postcode 3027 is a more affluent and educated area, where 48.4% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher and typical household incomes are well higher at $2,582 a week. It is also much more walkable, with 92.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a "15-minute-city" and 90.6% within reach of health services. In contrast, postcode 3029 is more sparsely developed, with a lower typical household income of $1,960 and far fewer homes within walk of health services (39.3%).

Both areas share a remarkably similar demographic core, with the typical resident in each being 31 years old and an equal share of homes containing 3.2 people. They are also both very diverse; more than half of residents in both postcodes were born overseas and a majority use a language other than English at home. While some gaps are closing, such as the difference in university qualifications, others have widened, including the gap in high-income households and the share of people working from home.
