2302, NSW 2303, NSW

Postcode 2303 and postcode 2302 are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Postcode 2303 is more family-oriented, with 14.2% of people being children under 15 and 61.7% of homes being separate houses. In contrast, postcode 2302 is dominated by apartments, which make up 95.6% of its dwellings. It is also much more transient; 82.5% of its residents moved there in the last five years, compared to 40.8% in postcode 2303. This higher mobility in postcode 2302 is consistent with its very high share of renters (51.9%) and people living alone (49.3%).

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has grown in several areas, including the share of people born overseas and the number of people living alone. Despite these diverging trends, they share a typical resident age of 42 and have very similar typical weekly household incomes. Both areas also sit near the national average for overall advantage. This common ground exists alongside stark differences in infrastructure, as postcode 2302 has a far higher number of public transport stops and more walkable access to health services and groceries.
