Postcode comparison ≈ 33 km apart · 3559, VIC profile · 3622, VIC profile

3559, VIC 3622, VIC

Postcode 3559 and postcode 3622 are both sparsely populated areas in Victoria. Postcode 3559 is much older, with a typical resident aged 51 compared to 41 in postcode 3622. This older population in postcode 3559 is consistent with more people living alone (27.5%) and a higher share of homes owned outright (50.0%). Local amenities also differ sharply; postcode 3559 has far more public transport stops and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of parks and groceries, while postcode 3622 has almost no walkable amenities.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The age gap has widened to 10 years, and the difference in the number of people who have moved recently has also grown, with postcode 3622 being far more mobile. Despite these diverging trends, they remain very similar in other areas. Both have nearly identical unemployment rates, typical weekly personal incomes around $680, and similar shares of adults with a bachelor degree.
