3953, VIC 3958, VIC

Postcode 3953 and postcode 3958 are nearby Victorian areas with very different scales and layouts. Postcode 3953 is a larger community where a typical resident is more likely to live within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, and schools. In contrast, postcode 3958 is sparsely populated and car-dependent, though it has a much higher share of large homes, with 99% having three or more bedrooms. Postcode 3958 also sees more people working from home (28.1%) and has a higher typical weekly household income of $1,649, compared to $1,316 in postcode 3953.

Since 2011, the gaps between the two have shifted in several ways. The difference in typical income and the share of people aged 65 and over have both widened, while the gap in working from home has narrowed. Despite these trends, they remain alike in some basic ways. Both have very similar typical weekly rents, around $260 to $270, and almost no residents who speak little or no English. They also share a similar distance to the city, taking over 100 minutes to travel.
