Postcode comparison ≈ 40 km apart · 2312, NSW profile · 2427, NSW profile

2312, NSW 2427, NSW

Postcode 2427 and postcode 2312 are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2427 is a significantly older community where the typical resident is 64 and 49.1% of people are seniors. This is reflected in the housing, with 64.9% of homes owned outright and 30.4% of people living alone. Postcode 2312 is younger, with a typical age of 49 and a higher share of families with children (49.5%), which helps explain why 24.8% of adults there are unpaid carers for children.

Both areas have a similar proportion of people with bachelor degrees, which sits close to the national figure. They also share nearly identical typical weekly rents of around $330 to $340. While they are similar in some ways, the gap in home ownership has widened since 2011, with postcode 2427 becoming increasingly dominated by outright owners. In terms of layout, postcode 2427 is somewhat walkable and has many homes within a short walk of health services, whereas postcode 2312 is mostly car-dependent.
