Postcode comparison ≈ 0.9 km apart · 2296, NSW profile · 2297, NSW profile

2296, NSW 2297, NSW

Postcode 2296 and postcode 2297 are neighbouring areas with a distinct contrast in housing and accessibility. Postcode 2296 is more geared toward renting and smaller households, with 47.3% of homes rented and 33.4% of people living alone. It is a walker's paradise with far more public transport and nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. In contrast, postcode 2297 is dominated by separate houses, which make up 86.5% of dwellings, and has a higher share of larger homes and families, with children under 15 making up 16.8% of the population.

These differences in housing and tenure have become more pronounced over time, as the gap between the two areas for detached houses and renting has widened since 2011. Despite this, the two neighbours share a similar profile in other ways. They have nearly identical rates of university qualifications, with around 38% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. Both areas also have very similar proportions of people born overseas and a similar typical weekly family income of around $2,300 to $2,400.
