3558, VIC 3564, VIC

Postcode 3564 and postcode 3558 are nearby Victorian areas with very different scales. Postcode 3564 is a larger hub where the typical family income is well higher at $1,755 a week, compared to $1,403 in postcode 3558. This larger area has far more people working or looking for work (58.0% versus 46.9%) and much larger schools, with an average size of 484 students compared to just 28 in postcode 3558. In contrast, postcode 3558 is a smaller, older community where residents are more likely to own their homes outright (48.6% versus 38.2%) and more frequently volunteer (26.6% versus 14.4%).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have shifted in different directions. The difference in typical income and the share of working adults have both widened, while the gaps in home ownership and volunteering have narrowed. Despite these shifts, they share several commonalities, such as similar levels of English proficiency and nearly identical shares of people in de facto relationships. Both areas also have low education and job skill scores, which sit well below the national figure.
