2025, NSW 2034, NSW

Postcode 2034 and postcode 2025 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different profiles. Postcode 2025 is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 42 and 23.0% of people aged 65 and over, compared to a typical age of 36 and just 12.8% seniors in postcode 2034. Housing patterns also differ sharply; 52.4% of households in postcode 2034 rent, which is 18 points higher than in postcode 2025, while 35.6% of homes in postcode 2025 are owned outright. Postcode 2034 is more connected by transit, with 67 public transport stops and 2,801.4 weekly departures per 1,000 people, far higher than the 23 stops and 1,157.9 departures in postcode 2025.

Both areas are almost identical in their share of children under 15, sitting at around 15%. They also share similar typical weekly household incomes, both around $3,000.
