2311, NSW 2320, NSW

Postcode 2311 is a sparsely populated area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 46. It is a place where 49.3% of homes are owned outright and 24.4% of people volunteer. In contrast, postcode 2320 is much larger and feels more urban; its typical resident is 37, and the area is somewhat walkable compared to the car-dependent nature of postcode 2311. This urban difference is clear in the transport and services, with postcode 2320 having far more public transport departures and a typical weekly income that is $461 higher than in postcode 2311.

Both areas share a similar level of overall advantage and have nearly identical shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. They also have the same typical monthly home loan payments and similar levels of education and job skills. While they share these foundations, the gap in typical ages has narrowed slightly since 2011, though the divide in renting and typical incomes has widened over the same period.
