Postcode comparison ≈ 15 km apart · 3230, VIC profile · 3240, VIC profile

3230, VIC 3240, VIC

Postcode 3230 and postcode 3240 are nearby Victorian areas with very different social profiles. Postcode 3230 is an older, more walkable area where the typical resident is 54 and 32% of people are seniors. It has a highly qualified population, with 39.4% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, postcode 3240 is younger, with a typical age of 40, and has a much higher proportion of working adults (71.5%). It is also wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,340 compared to $1,701 in postcode 3230.

Since 2011, these two areas have drifted further apart across several key measures. The age gap has widened, and the difference in university qualifications and household incomes has grown. Despite these shifts, they remain similar in other ways, such as having almost identical shares of people who speak only English and very similar proportions of those providing unpaid care. They also share nearly the same number of schools within 3 km.
