2337, NSW 2420, NSW

Postcode 2337 and postcode 2420 are two different types of regional areas in New South Wales. Postcode 2337 is younger and more workforce-active, with 66.6% of people in full-time work and a typical weekly household income of $1,561. It also sees far more recent overseas arrivals (33.9%). In contrast, postcode 2420 has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 50 and 27.3% of people aged 65 and over. This area also has a much higher share of homes owned outright at 44.4% and a lower typical household income of $1,235.

Since 2011, the gap between these two places has grown across several key measures. The difference in typical age has widened to 10 years, while the divide in weekly household income has increased to $326. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas remain very similar in some ways. They share nearly identical typical monthly mortgage payments and weekly rents, and both have the same level of overall advantage relative to the national figure.
