Postcode 4208 is a young, family-heavy area where the typical resident is 34 and children under 15 make up 24.9% of the population. It is also wealthier, with a typical household income of $2,136 per week and many large homes—91.9% have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 4184 is much older, with a typical age of 61 and 39.5% of people aged 65 and over.
