Summary
Victoria’s Portsea just topped Australia’s richest postcode list, with an average taxable income of $321,988 — more than four times the national average. Toorak and Hawksburn follow closely, showcasing Melbourne’s luxury divide. While these areas shine, they represent just a sliver of life in Victoria, where rising costs of living make the gap between the ultra-wealthy and everyday residents stark. Yet, the city’s charm — from hidden wine bars to late-night dumplings — thrives far beyond these elite zones. This year, Victoria’s ascent signals a shift in Australia’s wealth map, with Sydney’s east and WA’s affluent hubs also vying for top spots — but the data only tells part of the story.
