3103, VIC 3104, VIC

Postcode 3104 and postcode 3103 are neighbouring areas in Greater Melbourne with distinct housing and transport profiles. Postcode 3104 is more likely to have separate houses (83.0%) and homes with three or more bedrooms (88.5%), which is far higher than in postcode 3103, where separate houses make up 59.7% and larger homes are less common at 69.2%. Infrastructure also differs, with postcode 3104 having far more public transport stops (107) and larger schools, while postcode 3103 has a higher share of people aged 65 and over (21.8% compared to 17.5%).

Since 2011, the gap between these two neighbours has widened in several key areas, including the prevalence of detached houses and the number of people living alone. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain very similar in other ways, such as their high share of people born overseas (around 44%) and similar levels of university qualifications. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for the share of people who use a language other than English at home.
