2401, NSW 2402, NSW

Postcode 2402 and postcode 2401 are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2402 has a much older population, with 28.8% of residents aged 65 and over compared to 16.7% in postcode 2401. It is also more walkable, with 56.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and 52.2% near groceries, while postcode 2401 has no homes within that distance of either. In contrast, postcode 2401 is more affluent, with a typical household income of $1,406 per week, which is well higher than the $972 seen in postcode 2402.

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has grown in several ways. The difference in typical incomes has widened significantly, and the gap in full-time employment has increased to 10 percentage points. They do share some traits, such as having similar proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and almost no one using a language other than English at home. Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
