3521, VIC 3662, VIC

Postcode 3662 and postcode 3521 are nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 3662 is a young, high-earning area where the typical resident is just 24 and the usual weekly personal income is $1,300. It is a transient place where 85.4% of people moved in the last five years, and nearly all homes (98.3%) are rented. In contrast, postcode 3521 is much older, with a typical age of 42 and a much lower typical weekly income of $728. Ownership is more common there, with 31.4% of homes owned outright.

Both areas are car-dependent and almost entirely made up of separate houses.

While they share these physical traits, the social gap between them is growing; the age difference has widened to 18 years since 2011, and the gap in typical weekly incomes has increased to $572.
