2295, NSW 2303, NSW

Postcode 2303 and postcode 2295 are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Postcode 2303 is a walker's paradise, where everyone lives within a 15-minute walk of a school and a huge number have easy access to groceries. It has a more highly qualified workforce, with 32.9% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, and a higher share of renters at 41.7%. In contrast, postcode 2295 is more car-dependent (somewhat walkable) and is dominated by detached houses, which make up 90.0% of homes. It has a higher share of people who own their homes outright (41.7%) and a larger proportion of older residents, with 26.9% aged 65 and over.

Both areas share a very similar profile in terms of household size, with about 2.3 people per home, and an almost identical unemployment rate of around 5%. They also have similar levels of recent overseas arrivals and volunteers. While postcode 2303 remains more walkable and has a higher share of university graduates, the gaps in education and outright home ownership have both narrowed since 2011.
