3620, VIC 3629, VIC

Postcode 3629 and postcode 3620 are two nearby Victorian areas with quite different infrastructure and demographics. Postcode 3629 is far better connected for public transport, with 81.5% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop, compared to just 28.4% in postcode 3620. This is consistent with the much higher number of public transport stops and departures in postcode 3629. However, postcode 3620 has more resources and advantage, with more people owning their homes outright (42.3% compared to 35.4%) and a much higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (57.2% versus 29.1%).

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged in several ways. The gap in the number of people born overseas and those using a language other than English at home has widened, with both figures now well higher in postcode 3629.
