Postcode 2440 is far more connected, with far more public transport stops and departures, and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, schools, and transport. In contrast, postcode 2446 has far higher access to money and resources and better overall advantage, while postcode 2440 has a well higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at 15.2% compared to 7.5% in postcode 2446.
