2251, NSW 2258, NSW

Postcode 2251 and postcode 2258 are two nearby areas in Greater Sydney with very different layouts. Postcode 2251 is more populous and connected, with 94.4% of homes within a 10 minute walk of public transport and a street network far denser than its neighbour. In contrast, postcode 2258 is more remote; it takes far longer to drive to the city, and the typical walk to a transport stop is 74 minutes. Postcode 2251 also has a significantly older population, with a typical resident aged 46 and 24.7% of people aged 65 and over, compared to 15.7% in postcode 2258.

While the age gap has narrowed slightly since 2011, the difference in working habits has widened, with far more people now working from home in postcode 2251. Both areas share a similar social and economic profile: they have almost identical shares of university graduates and very similar typical weekly personal incomes. They also both have a high proportion of residents who are older than the national figure.
