2415, NSW 2421, NSW

Postcode 2415 is a sparsely populated area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 50 compared to 42 in postcode 2421. This area is more isolated, with a typical walk to a transport stop taking 74 minutes, while it is 42 minutes in postcode 2421. There are also notable economic differences; the typical household income in postcode 2421 is $1,867 per week, which is well higher than the $1,366 seen in postcode 2415.

These age differences have become more pronounced over time, as the gap between the typical resident in each area has widened since 2011. Despite this, both areas are very similar in other ways, such as having almost exclusively detached houses and nearly identical rates of full-time employment. They also share a common profile in terms of language, with very few people using a language other than English at home.
