3287, VIC 3300, VIC

Postcode 3300 and postcode 3287 are two distinct Victorian areas with very different population profiles. Postcode 3300 is a larger hub where residents are noticeably older, with 26.1% aged 65 and over, and a higher proportion of people living alone (35.4%) or in one-parent families (14.8%). It is also more walkable (somewhat walkable) with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, schools and health services. In contrast, postcode 3287 is sparsely populated and mostly car-dependent, with a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals (48.6%) and a workforce more heavily involved in agriculture. Those in postcode 3287 also have far more homes with three or more bedrooms (89.3%) and a higher rate of working from home (24.1%).
