2292, NSW 2298, NSW

Postcode 2298 and postcode 2292 are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with a few distinct differences. Postcode 2292 is more connected and walkable, with far more public transport routes (36 compared to 11) and a much higher number of public transport departures per 1,000 people. It also has a higher share of adults working or looking for work (68.7% versus 61.5%) and more people who have completed Year 12. In contrast, postcode 2298 is older and has a higher share of seniors, with 19.6% of residents aged 65 and over compared to 12.4% in postcode 2292.

These two neighbours are very similar in their core household profiles, with both areas having the same typical number of people per home (2.3) and almost identical typical weekly family incomes. This shared baseline is mirrored in other areas of life, as both have about the same share of volunteers and people who have served in the Defence Force. While some gaps are widening, such as the difference in people working from home, other divides are narrowing; the gap in recent overseas arrivals has fallen from 15.9% in 2011 to 6.5% today.
