Postcode comparison ≈ 20 km apart · 3821, VIC profile · 3832, VIC profile

3821, VIC 3832, VIC

Postcode 3821 and postcode 3832 are two nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 3821 is generally more affluent, with a typical household income of $1,834 per week and a higher share of large homes, where 88.5% have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 3832 is far older, with a typical resident aged 53 compared to 44 in postcode 3821, and a much higher share of seniors at 29.4%. This older demographic in postcode 3832 is consistent with a much higher rate of people providing unpaid care, at 26.8%.

Both areas are very similar in other ways, such as their nearly identical unemployment rates and the fact that almost no one in either place commutes by public transport. They also share a similar level of volunteerism and very few residents who speak little or no English. However, some gaps are growing; the difference in typical household income has widened since 2011, and the age gap between the two areas has also increased over the last decade.
