Postcode 2621 is much younger, with a typical age of 40. There is a stark difference in incomes; typical weekly household income is $2,939 in postcode 2621, while it is much lower at $1,184 in postcode 2536. This is consistent with education levels, as 67.2% of people in postcode 2621 finished Year 12 compared to 40.1% in postcode 2536.

The gap in typical household incomes has widened since 2011, growing from $1,393 to $1,755.
