3108, VIC 3109, VIC

Postcode 3109 and postcode 3108 are neighbouring areas in Melbourne with similar typical resident ages and education levels. Postcode 3109 is more geared towards families, with a well higher share of children under 15 (18.1% compared to 13.9%) and far more homes with three or more bedrooms (83.1% versus 68.8%). This is consistent with a larger number of school enrolments and more people caring for children unpaid. Postcode 3108 has a more transient feel, with a well higher share of renters (30.3% versus 23.4%) and more people who have moved in the last five years (47.4% compared to 38.0%).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several key ways. The gap in housing has widened, with postcode 3109 seeing a far higher increase in detached houses and large family homes. At the same time, postcode 3108 has become more distinct for its higher rate of people living alone and its better walkability, with more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and schools.
