3621, VIC 3639, VIC

Postcode 3621 and postcode 3639 are two nearby Victorian areas with very different demographics. Postcode 3621 is a family-oriented area where 21.0% of people are children under 15 and 29.2% are unpaid carers for children. It is more walkable (somewhat walkable) than postcode 3639 (car-dependent), with 60.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a variety of amenities. In contrast, postcode 3639 is far older, with a typical resident aged 57 and a much higher share of homes owned outright at 56.9%.

These two areas have drifted further apart since 2011. The gap in typical age has widened to 16 years, and the difference in home ownership and the share of children has also grown. Despite these changing trends, they share some similarities, such as having almost identical rates of people in de facto relationships and similar levels of access to money and resources. Both areas also have very few people who speak little or no English.
