3595, VIC 3596, VIC

Postcode 3595 and postcode 3596 are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different profiles. Postcode 3596 is wealthier, with a typical family income of $2,150 per week compared to $1,286 in postcode 3595. It also has a much higher share of people born overseas (18.4% versus 8.2%) and more homes owned outright (65.6% versus 36.3%). In contrast, postcode 3595 is far more walkable, with 83.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while postcode 3596 has none. Postcode 3595 also has a much higher rate of long-term health conditions at 39.7%, compared to 18.4% in postcode 3596.

Since 2011, the gap between the two has widened across several measures. The difference in overseas births and the use of other languages at home has grown, and the income gap has flipped to strongly favour postcode 3596. Despite these shifts, they share some basic characteristics: both have similar numbers of people per home and roughly the same share of households that rent. Both areas also see no residents commuting by public transport.
