3958, VIC 3959, VIC

Postcode 3959 and postcode 3958 are two nearby rural areas in Victoria. Postcode 3959 is more established and accessible, with 69.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park and 49.4% within walking distance of groceries. It also has a more qualified population, where 24.1% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher compared to 13.5% in postcode 3958. In contrast, postcode 3958 is more car-dependent but has much better public transport links, with far more departures per 1,000 people and a typical home that is more likely to have three or more bedrooms (99%).

Since 2011, the two areas have grown further apart in several key ways. The gap in university qualifications, the number of people volunteering, and the proportion of homes owned outright have all widened. This trend is also seen in the population age, with residents in postcode 3959 becoming noticeably older than those in postcode 3958. Despite these shifts, the areas remain very similar in other ways, such as having an almost identical share of people using other languages at home and very similar typical weekly rents.
