3059, VIC 3061, VIC

Postcode 3059 is more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $2,262 and 23.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, the typical weekly household income in postcode 3061 is much lower at $1,110, and only 11.1% of adults there have a degree.

While postcode 3061 has a far higher share of people born overseas, this specific gap has narrowed over the last few years.
