3046, VIC 3048, VIC

Postcode 3046 and postcode 3048 are neighbouring areas in Greater Melbourne with very different profiles. Postcode 3046 is more affluent and highly qualified, with 30.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 13.4% in postcode 3048. This is reflected in the typical weekly personal income, which is far higher in postcode 3046 at $791, while postcode 3048 is among the lowest at $442. In contrast, postcode 3048 has a much higher share of large family homes, with 89.5% having three or more bedrooms compared to 65.5% in postcode 3046.

Daily life in both places is very similar in terms of accessibility, as both are very walkable and nearly every home is within a 15-minute walk of a park. However, the gaps in employment and income have widened since 2011. While both areas are far more linguistically diverse than the national figure, the gap in the share of people using a language other than English has narrowed slightly over the last decade.
