2300, NSW 2303, NSW

Postcode 2300 and postcode 2303 are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different housing and wealth profiles. Postcode 2300 is a high-earning hub where 43.5% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and the typical weekly income is $1,143. It is dominated by apartments, with only 12.7% of homes being separate houses. In contrast, postcode 2303 has a more traditional residential feel, with 61.7% of homes being separate houses and a lower typical weekly income of $861. Postcode 2300 is also more transient, with 56.2% of residents moving in the last five years.

Both areas track closely with the national figure for the typical age of residents, though those in postcode 2303 are slightly older.

While postcode 2300 has far better access to groceries and health services within a 15-minute walk, the gap in school completion has narrowed since 2011.
