2292, NSW 2303, NSW

Postcode 2292 is much more focused on families and accessibility, with 75.2% of homes being separate houses and a far higher number of schools per child. In contrast, postcode 2303 has a higher share of apartments and a more elderly population, with 19.5% of residents aged 65 and over compared to 12.4% in postcode 2292. Postcode 2303 also sees more high earners, with 25.5% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, which is well higher than the 18.7% in postcode 2292.
