2294, NSW 2318, NSW

Postcode 2318 and postcode 2294 are nearby areas in New South Wales with very different layouts. Postcode 2318 is mostly car-dependent, where 95.9% of homes are separate houses and 87.9% have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 2294 is a walker's paradise with a much higher proportion of renters (44.5%) and a more educated workforce, with 32.0% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 13.6% in postcode 2318.

These differences have become more striking as the gap in higher education and the number of people with no religion have both widened since 2011. Despite these shifts, the two areas share a similar typical weekly household income of around $1,800 and almost identical typical monthly mortgage payments of $1,950. They also have very similar proportions of residents born overseas and people who speak little or no English.
