3183, VIC 3185, VIC

Postcode 3183 and postcode 3185 are neighbouring areas in Greater Melbourne with distinct housing and age profiles. Postcode 3185 has a much larger share of separate houses (36.0% compared to 18.4%) and more homes with three or more bedrooms (46.0% versus 30.8%). It also has a noticeably older population, with a typical resident aged 38 and a higher proportion of seniors. In contrast, postcode 3183 is younger, with a typical age of 34, and is more likely to be a hub for students and young professionals, evidenced by far larger schools and a higher share of people living alone (40.4% against 34.7%).

Everyday life is very similar across both areas, with nearly identical typical weekly incomes and rent costs. They also share similar rates of people who speak little or no English (2.0%) and those with no religion. While they track closely, some gaps are shifting; the difference in the share of three-bedroom homes and the number of people moving in recently have both narrowed since 2011.
