2232, NSW 2234, NSW

Postcode 2232 is a very walkable area where 88.9% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. It has a higher proportion of renters (27.8%) and people living alone (26.1%). In contrast, postcode 2234 is more car-dependent and dominated by large homes, with 95.4% having three or more bedrooms and 86.2% being separate houses.

Both areas are nearly identical when it comes to their age profiles, with children under 15 making up about 18% of the population in each.
