Postcode 2456 is more diverse and younger, with 22.4% of people arriving recently from overseas and a typical resident aged 43. In contrast, postcode 2455 is far older, with a typical age of 55 and 33.4% of its population aged 65 and over. Postcode 2456 also has higher typical weekly incomes of $1,404 compared to $1,071 in postcode 2455.
