There are sharp differences in their populations: postcode 6614 has a far higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (15.0% compared to 3.4% in postcode 6517) and far older residents, with a typical age of 59 compared to 43. Families in postcode 6517 typically earn far more per week, with a usual income of $1,875 against $1,124 in postcode 6614.
