3177, VIC 3802, VIC

Postcode 3802 and postcode 3177 are neighbouring areas in Greater Melbourne with very different housing and financial profiles. Postcode 3802 is more established and affluent, with a far higher share of homes owned outright (37.0% compared to 22.5%) and larger residences, as 94.3% of homes have three or more bedrooms. This area also has more high earners, with 19.3% of households making $3,000 or more a week, compared to 9.2% in postcode 3177. In contrast, postcode 3177 is more transient, with 42.3% of people moving in the last five years, and has a much higher rental rate of 41.5%.

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has widened across several measures, including home ownership, high incomes, and the number of people working from home. Despite these shifting trends, they share a similar feel in other ways, such as having almost the same number of people per home and nearly identical access to parks and public transport. Both areas also stand far above the national figure for cultural diversity, with more than half of residents in both postcodes born overseas.
