2264, NSW 2278, NSW

Postcode 2264 and postcode 2278 are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2264 is a much older area, where the typical resident is 47 and 27.3% of people are aged 65 or over. It is also more walkable for daily needs; for example, 40.2% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to just 0.7% in postcode 2278. In contrast, postcode 2278 has a younger population and a higher share of working adults, at 68.2% compared to 50.4% in postcode 2264.

Since 2011, these two areas have seen several gaps narrow, such as the difference in typical age and the proportion of older residents. They still share some common ground, including very similar typical monthly mortgage payments of around $1,750 and a nearly identical share of people in de facto relationships. Both areas also sit well below the national figure for Year 12 completion, though the gap between them has shrunk over the last decade.
