2340, NSW 2341, NSW

Postcode 2340 and postcode 2341 are nearby areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Postcode 2340 is much larger and has a younger population, with a typical resident aged 38 compared to 50 in postcode 2341. It is also far more diverse, with 29% of residents arriving recently from overseas, while postcode 2341 has no recent overseas arrivals. Postcode 2340 has higher rates of higher education, with 15.9% of adults holding a bachelor degree or more, compared to just 5.5% in postcode 2341.

Many of the gaps between these two areas have widened since 2011, particularly the difference in typical age, which grew from 7 to 12 years. Despite these growing divides, both areas share similar rates of people living in de facto relationships and those who have no religion. They also both have a very high share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents compared to the national figure, though this is even more pronounced in postcode 2341 at 21.9%.
