3085, VIC 3087, VIC

Postcode 3085 and postcode 3087 are neighbouring areas in Greater Melbourne with different residential and service profiles. Postcode 3087 is more geared towards detached living and accessibility, with separate houses in 90.8% of homes and 90.5% of residents within a 15-minute walk of health services. In contrast, postcode 3085 has a more highly qualified and higher-earning population; 37.7% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, and 30.4% of households earn $3,000 or more per week.

These two areas share a nearly identical demographic foundation, including a typical resident age of 39 and a similar share of children under 15. While they are both very walkable, the gap in housing has widened since 2011 as postcode 3087 has become more dominated by separate houses. At the same time, more people in postcode 3085 have started working from home, a trend that has also grown since 2011.
