2337, NSW 2338, NSW

Postcode 2337 and postcode 2338 are two nearby areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Postcode 2337 is much more active and diverse, with 33.9% of residents arriving recently from overseas and 19.2% of the population being children under 15. It also has a more prosperous workforce, where 19.2% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, postcode 2338 is far older; the typical resident is 52, and 30.4% of people are aged 65 and over. This area has a higher rate of outright home ownership at 45.5% and a much lower typical household income of $1,006 a week.

Many of the gaps between these two places have widened since 2011. This is most obvious in the age difference, which has grown from 6 years to 12 years, and the number of recent overseas arrivals, where the gap is now 26 percentage points. Despite these shifts, some things remain the same. Both areas are mostly car-dependent and have a similar proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, at around 6%.
