3956, VIC 3964, VIC

Postcode 3956 and postcode 3964 are two nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 3956 is more walkable (mostly car-dependent) and has more local amenities, including groceries and parks within a 15-minute walk. It also has a more qualified workforce, with 20.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 11.6% in postcode 3964. In contrast, postcode 3964 is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a higher share of children under 15 (19.5% versus 15.6% in postcode 3956).

These areas have drifted further apart in some ways, particularly as the gap in university qualifications has widened since 2016. However, they remain very similar in other aspects of daily life. Both have almost identical typical weekly household incomes, around $1,140 to $1,180, and similar rates of volunteering and home ownership. In both places, people per home is about 2.2, and almost no one commutes by public transport.
