The two areas differ sharply in wealth and education; the typical weekly household income in postcode 6430 is $2,429, which is far higher than the $966 typical in postcode 6440. Postcode 6430 also has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree (16.5% against 5.8%) and a much larger proportion of children under 15 (22.5% versus 10.4%).

Both areas have very similar shares of people who served in the Defence Force, at about 2.3%. While they share some basic similarities in home size and the percentage of people working from home, many of the gaps between them are widening.
