Postcode comparison ≈ 1.1 km apart · 2300, NSW profile · 2302, NSW profile

2300, NSW 2302, NSW

Postcode 2300 and postcode 2302 are neighbouring areas with very different residential profiles. Postcode 2300 has a younger population and more family-oriented housing, with 39.8% of homes having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 2302 is much more transient and densely packed; 82.5% of its residents moved in the last five years, and it has a far higher number of schools and public transport stops per person. Postcode 2302 also has a larger share of people born overseas (25.0%) and those who use another language at home (16.7%).

These two areas are very similar in their overall advantage and the typical weekly rent of around $435 to $465. They also share a similar professional profile, as both have a high share of university-educated adults and people working from home. While they are alike in these ways, they have drifted apart in other areas since 2011. For example, the gap in the share of older residents has widened, with people aged 65 and over now well higher in postcode 2302.
