Postcode comparison ≈ 8.6 km apart · 3854, VIC profile · 3856, VIC profile

3854, VIC 3856, VIC

Postcode 3854 and postcode 3856 are neighbouring rural areas in Victoria. Postcode 3854 is wealthier, with 24.0% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 16.4% in postcode 3856. This higher income is consistent with a workforce with better job skills and a larger share of people earning $2,000 or more weekly. In terms of amenities, postcode 3854 is far more convenient for food, with 51.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while postcode 3856 has 0.0%.

These two areas share a very similar demographic profile, with almost identical shares of people who have finished Year 12 and a nearly equal typical weekly personal income. They also both have a low number of people born overseas and a similar percentage of residents aged 65 and over. However, some gaps are widening; for example, the difference in the share of people in de facto relationships has grown since 2011, and the gap in high-income households has also increased.
