2282, NSW 2285, NSW

Postcode 2285 and postcode 2282 are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2285 is much younger, with a typical resident aged 36, compared to 45 in postcode 2282. This younger population is reflected in the higher share of children under 15 (20.6% versus 17.4%) and a higher proportion of one-parent families. Postcode 2285 also has more separate houses (89.7%) and better access to essentials, with 61% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries compared to 41.6% in postcode 2282. In contrast, postcode 2282 is more affluent, with 26.3% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and 45.6% of homes owned outright.

The age gap between these two neighbours has widened since 2011, growing from six to nine years. Despite this, they share very similar typical weekly incomes and household earnings. They also have nearly identical rates of long-term health conditions and people providing unpaid care. While postcode 2282 has higher education levels, with 25.9% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, both areas sit well below the national figure for this qualification.
