3529, VIC 3540, VIC

Postcode 3540 and postcode 3529 are both sparsely populated areas in Victoria. They differ sharply in age and wealth; postcode 3540 is much older, with a typical resident aged 57 and a typical weekly family income of $1,218. In contrast, postcode 3529 is far younger with a typical age of 36 and a typical weekly family income that is far higher at $2,083. This age gap is reflected in the families living there, as postcode 3529 has a much higher share of children under 15 (22.2% compared to 5.3% in postcode 3540) and far more people caring for children unpaid.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The gap in typical age has widened to 21 years, and the difference in weekly family income has grown significantly to $865.
