2146, NSW 2153, NSW

Postcode 2153 is more affluent, with 39.6% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 27.8% in postcode 2146. This wealth is reflected in housing; 75.5% of homes in postcode 2153 are separate houses, while postcode 2146 has more renters at 32.9%. However, postcode 2146 is far more walkable, with 98.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to 62.0% in postcode 2153.

Everyday life is similar in both places, as they share nearly the same proportion of children under 15 and almost identical access to parks.
