This gap is also seen in the workforce; 70.1% of adults in postcode 6226 are working or looking for work, which is far higher than the 53.6% in postcode 6224. While postcode 6224 has more people living alone (24.4%) and a higher share of renters (22.0%), postcode 6226 has more large homes, with 91.6% having three or more bedrooms.
