Postcode 3040 is a younger area where 40.5% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 34.2% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, postcode 3034 is significantly older, with a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (26.8% compared to 15.6% in postcode 3040) and a much higher proportion of homes owned outright (47.1% versus 33.5%).
