2415, NSW 2428, NSW

Postcode 2428 and postcode 2415 are two very different New South Wales areas. Postcode 2428 is a much larger population centre that is somewhat walkable, where residents are far older with a typical age of 58. It has a far higher share of seniors, with 38.6% aged 65 and over, and far more people living alone (35.2%). In contrast, postcode 2415 is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with every home being a separate house. While postcode 2415 is also older than most of Australia, its typical resident is 50, and it has a far higher share of adults working or looking for work (54.7% compared to 40.9% in postcode 2428).

Both areas share similar levels of education and home loan payments, with about 13% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. This common ground exists alongside widening gaps in other areas; the difference in typical age has grown since 2011, and far more people have moved into postcode 2428 over the last five years. Postcode 2428 also provides much better access to basics, with 89.6% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport, compared to just 14.8% in postcode 2415.
