3557, VIC 3558, VIC

Postcode 3558 and postcode 3557 are two nearby Victorian areas with very different characters. Postcode 3558 is a more aged and accessible place, where the typical resident is 52 and the area is described as somewhat walkable. In contrast, postcode 3557 is car-dependent with a younger typical age of 41. There are also sharp economic differences; typical weekly incomes are far higher in postcode 3557 at $1,680, compared to $972 in postcode 3558. While postcode 3558 has far more recent overseas arrivals at 24.1%, postcode 3557 has none.

The gap in typical incomes between the two areas has widened since 2011, growing from $436 to $708. Despite this, they share some common ground, such as having similar proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and nearly identical commute times to the city. They also both have very low rates of people who speak little or no English, and both have very few people who use public transport to get to work.
