Postcode 5700 has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 21.3%, compared to 2.5% in postcode 5600. It also has a far higher share of recent overseas arrivals (29.1% versus 8.8%) and one-parent families (23.8% versus 11.4%). Renting is also far more common in postcode 5700, where 41.2% of homes are rented, while only 25.9% are rented in postcode 5600.

The gap in overseas arrivals has widened since 2011, but the two areas share several other daily realities.
