3039, VIC 3044, VIC

Postcode 3044 and postcode 3039 are neighbouring suburbs in Greater Melbourne with some distinct differences in housing and family life. Postcode 3044 is more family-oriented, with a higher share of children under 15 (17.8%) and far more separate houses (59.2%) and larger three-bedroom homes (62.7%). In contrast, postcode 3039 has more apartments and a higher proportion of people living alone (34.5%), alongside a more highly educated workforce where 45.1% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher.

These two areas share a very similar profile in terms of their typical weekly incomes, monthly mortgage payments, and the share of people born overseas. They also both have residents who are highly likely to speak a language other than English at home. While they track closely in these areas, the gap in housing has widened since 2011, with postcode 3044 becoming increasingly more detached-house heavy compared to postcode 3039.
