3803, VIC 3804, VIC

Postcode 3803 and postcode 3804 are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different profiles. Postcode 3803 is far more diverse, with 53.2% of people born overseas and 56.0% using another language at home. In contrast, postcode 3804 is much wealthier; the typical household income is $2,630 a week, which is far higher than the $1,489 seen in postcode 3803.
