3079, VIC 3105, VIC

Postcode 3079 and postcode 3105 are neighbouring areas in Greater Melbourne with distinct profiles. Postcode 3079 is a wealthier and more highly educated area, where 50.1% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and typical weekly household incomes are well higher at $2,328. In contrast, postcode 3105 has a much stronger international character, with 41% of people born overseas and 48.7% using a language other than English at home. Housing also differs sharply; postcode 3105 has far more separate houses (79.6%) and larger homes, while postcode 3079 has a higher share of flats or apartments.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, such as the typical monthly home-loan payment of around $2,400 to $2,500 and nearly identical rates of people with long-term health conditions. While they share these basics, some gaps are widening. The difference in typical incomes has grown since 2011, and the gap in the number of people working from home has also increased. Meanwhile, the gap in the share of people who own their homes outright has narrowed.
