3607, VIC 3662, VIC

Postcode 3662 and postcode 3607 are two nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 3662 is a young hub where the typical resident is just 24, and 24.4% of the population are children. It is a high-income area with typical weekly household earnings of $2,510, and an overwhelming 98.3% of homes are rented. In contrast, postcode 3607 is much older, with a typical age of 46 and 15% of residents aged 65 or over. Home ownership is more common here, as 50.9% of houses are owned outright, and the typical weekly household income is much lower at $1,416.

These gaps in age and income have widened since 2016. Despite these trends, the two areas share some traits, such as having similar proportions of people born overseas (around 11%) and nearly identical rates of people needing help with daily activities. Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage, and neither has any homes within walking distance of groceries or health services.
