7258, TAS 7300, TAS

Postcode 7300 and postcode 7258 are nearby Tasmanian areas with very different financial and educational profiles. Postcode 7258 is far more affluent, with 35.4% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to just 12.8% in postcode 7300. This wealth is consistent with a more highly qualified workforce; 27.2% of adults in postcode 7258 hold a bachelor degree or higher, while the figure is 12.7% in postcode 7300. In contrast, postcode 7300 is more walkable, with 52.8% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to just 9.3% in postcode 7258.

Both areas share a similar family makeup, with children under 15 and people aged 65 and over making up nearly the same share of each population. They also have a similar proportion of people born overseas and those who speak a language other than English at home. However, the gaps in wealth, education, and home ownership have all widened since 2011. This is most visible in the age of residents, who are now noticeably older in postcode 7258 by 7 years.
