3607, VIC 3664, VIC

Postcode 3664 and postcode 3607 are two nearby rural areas in Victoria, though postcode 3664 is larger and has a more established feel. There are significant differences in education and wealth; postcode 3664 has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (17.8% versus 6.5%) and more households earning $3,000 or more a week (16.6% versus 5.5%). Postcode 3664 is also more accessible, with a walkability score of 3.3 (mostly car-dependent) compared to 0.1 (car-dependent) in postcode 3607.

These differences have become more pronounced over time, with the gap in higher education and high weekly incomes widening since 2016. Despite this, the two areas share a very similar foundation. They have nearly identical typical household incomes, about the same share of people born overseas, and both are heavily car-dependent with almost no commuting by public transport. They also both have an older population compared to the national figure.
