3546, VIC 3549, VIC

Postcode 3549 and postcode 3546 are two nearby Victorian areas with very different populations. Postcode 3549 is much more diverse, with 36.7% of residents born overseas and 40.3% using a language other than English at home. It is also younger, with a typical age of 36. In contrast, postcode 3546 is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical age of 52 and 29.2% of people aged 65 and over.
