3494, VIC 3507, VIC

Postcode 3494 and postcode 3507 are both sparsely populated areas of Victoria, though they have very different profiles. Postcode 3494 is younger and more diverse, with 21.7% of people born overseas and 15.1% using another language at home. In contrast, postcode 3507 is far older, with a typical resident aged 52 and nearly 30% of the population aged 65 or over. Employment also differs sharply; full-time work is far higher in postcode 3494 at 69.7%, compared to 33.3% in postcode 3507.

The age gap between these two areas has widened since 2011, growing from a one-year difference to 12 years. Despite this, they share some common ground, such as similar weekly family incomes and a nearly identical proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (2.3%). Both areas are largely car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services.
