3489, VIC 3509, VIC

Postcode 3509 and postcode 3489 are both sparsely populated areas in Victoria. Postcode 3509 is somewhat walkable, with 77% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a typical resident aged 52.

High earners are also more common in postcode 3509, where 12.5% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to none in postcode 3489.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted apart in several key ways. The age gap has flipped and widened, with residents now far older in postcode 3509. The gap in home ownership has also shifted, with postcode 3489 now seeing a much higher share of homes owned outright. Despite these diverging trends, the areas remain alike in other ways; both have very similar typical weekly incomes, the same average school size, and no residents who speak little or no English.
