7255, TAS 7257, TAS

Postcode 7255 and postcode 7257 are two small areas in Tasmania. Postcode 7257 is sparsely populated and has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 62.5% compared to 12.7% in postcode 7255. There is also a significant gap in transport and wealth; 70% of homes in postcode 7257 have no motor vehicle, while postcode 7255 has a far higher typical weekly income of $697 compared to $421. Postcode 7255 is also older, with 36.9% of people aged 65 and over, which is far higher than the 26.6% in postcode 7257.

Both areas are effectively alike in that no one speaks little or no English. While they share this trait, other gaps have shifted over time. For example, the difference in the number of people who have no religion has grown, with the lead flipping since 2011. The gap in typical weekly incomes has also widened, and the difference in the share of people with a bachelor degree or higher has increased.
