7175, TAS 7178, TAS

Postcode 7178 and postcode 7175 are both sparsely populated areas in Tasmania. Postcode 7178 is far older, with a typical resident aged 56 and 31.1% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, postcode 7175 has a younger typical resident at 48 and far fewer seniors at 18.5%. There are also big gaps in education and income; 30.5% of adults in postcode 7175 hold a bachelor degree or higher compared to 14.6% in postcode 7178.
