Postcode 6168 is much older, with a typical resident aged 46 and 24.4% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, postcode 6170 is far younger, with a typical age of 31 and 26.0% of its population being children under 15. This age gap is reflected in incomes and housing; the typical weekly household income in postcode 6170 is $2,012, which is far higher than the $1,176 seen in postcode 6168.

Both also have similar rates of volunteering and people working from home, though postcode 6168 is far more walkable and has many more public transport options.
