2251, NSW 2260, NSW

Postcode 2251 and postcode 2260 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with different levels of accessibility and wealth. Postcode 2260 is much more walkable, with 57.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a variety of services compared to 23.8% in postcode 2251. It also has a more affluent profile, with a typical weekly household income of $2,161, which is well higher than the $1,717 seen in postcode 2251. In contrast, postcode 2251 is notably older, with a typical resident aged 46 and 24.7% of the population aged 65 and over.

However, the gap in household income has widened since 2011, and the typical age in postcode 2251 has grown more quickly than in postcode 2260. While both areas are described as somewhat walkable, postcode 2260 has better access to groceries and health services.
