SEIFA scores are area averages and can mask significant internal variation within a single postcode. In postcodes like 2134 that cover multiple distinct streets or precincts, the SEIFA score reflects the blend. If part of Burwood is significantly more advantaged than another, the average SEIFA decile will sit somewhere in between, not fully representative of either end. For a micro-area view, the ABS TableBuilder tool allows you to access Census variables at the mesh-block level.
