2420, NSW 2421, NSW

Postcode 2420 and postcode 2421 are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Residents in postcode 2420 are far older, with a typical age of 50 compared to 42 in postcode 2421. This older population is reflected in the housing, where 30.3% of people in postcode 2420 live alone, far higher than the 18.7% in postcode 2421. There is also a significant gap in wealth and employment; the share of households earning $3,000 or more a week is far higher in postcode 2421 at 25.0%, while only 12.3% do so in postcode 2420.

These gaps in age, income, and employment have all widened since 2011. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas share some common ground, such as the typical weekly rent of $300 and similar shares of people born overseas. They also both have higher proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents than the national figure, though this is well higher in postcode 2420 at 8.1%.
