7252, TAS 7254, TAS

Postcode 7252 and postcode 7254 are nearby Tasmanian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 7252 is generally more affluent and better educated, with 19.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 10.7% in postcode 7254. This is reflected in the typical weekly household income, which is well higher in postcode 7252 at $1,619, while postcode 7254 sits at $1,283. Postcode 7252 also has more residents living within a 15-minute walk of a park (30.3% compared to 1.4% in postcode 7254), though postcode 7254 has far more public transport stops per 1,000 people.

Everyday life in both places is quite similar, as they share nearly identical rates of home ownership and a very high proportion of detached houses. They also have the same number of public transport routes and almost identical drive times to the city. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in typical household income has grown since 2011, and the gap in the number of people with bachelor degrees has also increased.
