As we all know, there are different postal codes in Australia.
However, in Australia, the postal code is only four digits, but it is definitely not just a number!
Recently, Australian media revealed the secret behind the zip code: it turns out that your zip code is actually a symbol of your economic status!
1. There's a lot of mystery in your zip code.
According to Australian media reports, adzuna.com.au, an employment website, published its findings:
Your zip code proves the salary level of your area!
In Queensland, for example, Bowen and Gladstone, which start with 46 and 47, are only one short of the zip numbers, but the average income is $129024 and $101170, respectively.
According to this list, there are actually only three postal codes in Australia that do join the so-called "100, 000 clubs", the two districts mentioned above, Bowen and Gladstone, and the capital Territory, which begins with a "26" postal code.
According to Raife Watson, chief executive of Adzuna, the difference is often largely related to local economic conditions, such as Gladstone, which earns more than $ one hundred thousand on average, thanks to the export growth of the local coal industry.
The development of the mining industry not only added 10% to local job advertisements for coal mines, but also increased logistics by 28%.
"Port Gladstone will also benefit from global demand for coal and logistics will increase steadily as exports increase," Watson said.
But wages in big cities remain flat with higher levels, Watson said.
In the Club of 100, 000, for example, there is also a $103752 average salary at the beginning of the postal code "26" in the capital area.
So Watson said: "our map shows that Australia's capital cities offer the best jobs for higher wages."
In addition, the average salary at the beginning of the 20 zip code in Sydney's CBD area is $82297, while the average salary at the beginning of 30 in Melbourne's CBD is $79693.
After all, these zip code areas, the population gathered here, so such a base is also enough to reflect that in these big cities, although we earn a lot, but the cost of living has also increased, and the gap between rich and poor is really big.
2. The zip code also decides on your loan.
As we can see from the above, Australian communities are increasingly divided into "gathering", high-net-worth people increasingly like to "pile up" to buy houses, and the big city CBD is generally a mixture of fish and dogs.
In fact, in Australia, your postal code will not only reflect whether you live in a rich or mixed area, but also determine the number of housing loans you apply for!
Citibank, for example, last year released a "black list" by zip code requiring buyers of these blacklisted apartments to pay more down payments to prove their ability to repay their money when applying for loans.
Some of the areas on the blacklist, such as Sydney's Chatswood,Epping, Melbourne's favorite Doncaster and Box Hill, are on the blacklist.
So, when you buy a house, you must pay attention to it!
In particular, many Chinese people like to "pile up" when buying homes, which can help promote neighborhood relations to avoid trouble, but it will also lead to a lot of problems caused by the lack of "ideal" in the region.
Therefore, to buy a house to think twice, to choose a good neighborhood income, good community security, but also easy to apply for loans of the house, it is not easy ah!
