Postcode 2533 is far more qualified and affluent, with 29.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 9.7% in postcode 2528. This is reflected in household income, where 24.6% of postcode 2533 homes earn $3,000 or more a week, while only 11.4% do so in postcode 2528. In contrast, postcode 2528 has a higher share of one-parent families (23.1% versus 9.4%) and renters (34.0% versus 17.4%).
