Postcode 5073 is older, with a typical resident aged 40, and has much higher rates of home ownership, where 38.1% of homes are owned outright. In contrast, postcode 5087 is younger, with a typical resident aged 36, and is far more likely to rent, with 38.2% of households renting. This difference extends to security and services; postcode 5087 has far higher rates of recorded offences, including theft and burglary, but also has far more public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people.
