3940, VIC 3941, VIC

Postcode 3941 and postcode 3940 are neighbouring areas in Victoria with very different housing and social profiles. Postcode 3941 is more likely to have larger homes, with detached houses making up 95.5% of dwellings and 83.8% of homes having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 3940 is much older and more reliant on smaller housing; the typical resident is 59, and people aged 65 and over make up 43.4% of the population. Postcode 3940 is also more walkable (somewhat walkable) compared to the mostly car-dependent postcode 3941, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (80.7% versus 33.5%).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally been narrowing. The difference in typical age has shrunk by 3 years, and the gap in the share of seniors has fallen by nearly 3 percentage points. Despite these shifts, they remain alike in several ways: both have similar proportions of volunteers and very few people who speak a language other than English at home. Both areas also see very low rates of public transport use for commuting, with figures well below the national figure.
