2321, NSW 2420, NSW

Postcode 2321 and postcode 2420 are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2321 is a much younger area where the typical resident is 34, while the typical person in postcode 2420 is far older at 50. This age difference is reflected in the home lives of residents; 34.6% of people in postcode 2321 are unpaid carers for children, compared to 24.1% in postcode 2420. Postcode 2321 also sees much more movement, with 49.8% of residents moving in the last five years, while only 30.4% did so in postcode 2420.

Both areas share a similar proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and have almost identical rates of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. These commonalities exist despite a widening gap in other areas. Since 2011, the difference in typical age has grown from 7 years to 16 years, and the gap in outright home ownership has increased to 16.3 percentage points. While both areas sit near the national figure for overall advantage, postcode 2321 is now far more likely to have adults working or looking for work.
