3250, VIC 3254, VIC

Postcode 3250 and postcode 3254 are neighbouring areas in Victoria, but they offer very different lifestyles. Postcode 3250 is more developed and accessible, with a walkability score of 5.8 (somewhat walkable) and 74.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. It has an older population, where the typical resident is 42 and 24.1% are seniors. In contrast, postcode 3254 is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a walkability score of 1.1. It is much younger, with a typical age of 33 and a higher share of children (23.7%).

Both areas are almost identical in their typical weekly personal income, which sits around $700 to $720. They also share similar levels of university qualifications and a nearly identical drive time to the city of about 100 minutes. While they share these basics, some gaps are widening; for example, the difference in age has grown since 2011, and postcode 3250 has seen its lead in home ownership and language diversity increase.
