3264, VIC 3279, VIC

Postcode 3264 and postcode 3279 are two nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 3264 is much older, with a typical resident aged 49 and 27.2% of people aged 65 or over, compared to a typical age of 34 and just 10.3% of seniors in postcode 3279. This older population in postcode 3264 is consistent with a higher rate of long-term health conditions (38.1% versus 18.3%) and more people living alone (32.0% versus 11.6%). Meanwhile, postcode 3279 is wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,078, which is far higher than the $1,162 typical in postcode 3264.

Both areas share a similar lack of English-speaking challenges, as very few people in either place speak little or no English. However, the gap in typical ages has widened since 2016, growing from 10 to 15 years. The two areas also differ in their layout; postcode 3264 is somewhat walkable with many homes within walking distance of schools and shops, while postcode 3279 is car-dependent.
