2426, NSW 2427, NSW

Postcode 2427 and postcode 2426 are nearby areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Postcode 2427 is a much older community, where the typical resident is 64 and nearly half the population (49.1%) is aged 65 or over. This is far older than postcode 2426, where the typical age is 46. Postcode 2427 is also far more walkable (somewhat walkable) with 78.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while postcode 2426 is car-dependent and has no homes within that distance of a shop.

The gap in the age of residents has widened since 2011, moving from 14 to 18 years. Despite this, the two areas share some similarities, such as having a similar proportion of people who completed Year 12 and an almost identical rate of volunteers. They also both have very low numbers of people who speak a language other than English at home, sitting well below the national figure.
