3239, VIC 3249, VIC

Postcode 3249 and postcode 3239 are two nearby Victorian areas with different levels of activity and infrastructure. Postcode 3249 is more active, with a far higher share of adults working or looking for work (64.4% compared to 54.3%) and far more public transport stops. It also has a larger school system, with 115 enrolments compared to just 4 in postcode 3239. In contrast, postcode 3239 is more likely to have residents with no religion (56.2% vs 41.4%) and a higher share of people living alone (32.1% vs 23.6%).

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, with gaps in home loan payments and unpaid housework shifting in the other direction.
