In contrast, postcode 0862 is mostly car-dependent, with a score of 2.2 and no homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed. There are also clear economic gaps; the typical weekly family income in postcode 0860 is far higher at $1,433, compared to $866 in postcode 0862. Postcode 0860 also has a much higher share of renters at 59.1%, while 31.3% of people in postcode 0862 rent.

Both areas share a very high Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, which sits well above the national figure in both places.
