3044, VIC 3047, VIC

Postcode 3044 and postcode 3047 are neighbouring areas in Greater Melbourne with very different profiles. Postcode 3044 is a wealthier area where the typical weekly household income is far higher at $2,095, compared to $1,159 in postcode 3047. Education levels are also much higher in postcode 3044, where 36.5% of adults have a bachelor degree or more, while only 17.2% do in postcode 3047. Conversely, postcode 3047 is far more diverse, with 47.3% of people born overseas and 61.6% using a language other than English at home.
