It has a higher proportion of people born overseas (37.7%) and far more people who have moved in the last five years (43.4%). In contrast, postcode 6501 is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a much older typical resident aged 47. Home ownership also differs, as 32.2% of homes in postcode 6501 are owned outright, compared to 19.2% in postcode 6035.
