3488, VIC 3533, VIC

Postcode 3533 and postcode 3488 are two sparsely populated Victorian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 3488 is more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,771 compared to $941 in postcode 3533. It also has a larger share of big homes, with 86.5% having three or more bedrooms, and a higher rate of full-time employment at 70.0%. In contrast, postcode 3533 is more accessible for pedestrians; it is rated as somewhat walkable and nearly 80% of its homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services, groceries, and schools, whereas postcode 3488 is car-dependent and has no homes within that walking distance.
