3820, VIC 3823, VIC

Postcode 3820 and postcode 3823 are two nearby Victorian areas with very different layouts. Postcode 3820 is more populous and urban, with 71.9% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a higher number of people moving in recently (46.8%). In contrast, postcode 3823 is more rural, where the typical walk to a transport stop is 42 minutes and the usual resident is older at 45. This is seen in the infrastructure too, with postcode 3820 having far more public transport stops per 1,000 people (4.89 compared to 1.89) and larger schools.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have generally widened. They have grown more apart in terms of the typical age of residents, the share of people with university degrees, and the number of people who have moved into the area. Despite these diverging trends, they remain very similar in other ways. Both have nearly identical typical weekly incomes (around $730), almost the same number of people per home (about 2.5), and similar rates of unpaid care and long-term health conditions.
