3140, VIC 3777, VIC

Postcode 3777 and postcode 3140 are two different types of residential areas in Greater Melbourne. Postcode 3140 is a more connected hub, where 61% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed and public transport departures are far higher. In contrast, postcode 3777 is more rural and spread out, with far more separate houses (91.4%) and a much longer drive to the city, taking 64 minutes compared to 35 minutes in postcode 3140. The population is also noticeably older in postcode 3777, where the typical resident is 46.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, including almost identical proportions of children under 15 and people living alone. They also have nearly the same number of people per home and a similar share of adults with a university degree. However, some gaps are widening over time. Since 2011, the difference in typical age has increased, and there is now a larger gap in the share of homes owned outright, which is well higher in postcode 3777.
