Postcode comparison ≈ 32 km apart · 3254, VIC profile · 3266, VIC profile

3254, VIC 3266, VIC

Postcode 3266 and postcode 3254 are two nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 3266 is far older, with a typical resident aged 47 and a much higher share of seniors at 23.5%. This area is also more walkable; it is mostly car-dependent, but over half of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, and schools. In contrast, postcode 3254 is much younger, with a typical resident aged 33 and a higher share of children under 15 (23.7%). It is strictly car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services.

The age gap between the two areas has widened since 2011, as postcode 3266 has grown older while postcode 3254 remains young. Despite this, they share several similarities, including nearly identical unemployment rates of 2.2% and very similar typical weekly incomes. Both areas also have very few residents born overseas compared to the national figure, and neither area sees any residents commuting by public transport.
