Postcode 6562 is more affluent and family-oriented, with 19.0% of its population being children under 15 and a typical weekly household income of $1,547. In contrast, postcode 6403 is sparsely populated and has a much older feel, where the typical resident is 52 and 35.9% of people live alone. This difference is reflected in their finances; typical monthly home loan payments are far higher in postcode 6562 at $1,800, compared to $986 in postcode 6403.
