Postcode comparison ≈ 54 km apart · 2431, NSW profile · 2440, NSW profile

2431, NSW 2440, NSW

Postcode 2440 and postcode 2431 are both New South Wales areas with distinct population profiles. Postcode 2431 is far older, with a typical resident aged 58 compared to 45 in postcode 2440. This shift is reflected in the high share of seniors, who are 15 percentage points more common in postcode 2431. While postcode 2431 is more walkable, with 65.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services compared to just 23% in postcode 2440, the latter has a much larger presence of children and a well higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, at 15.2%.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, with nearly identical typical weekly incomes and a similar share of people using another language at home. Both areas also have about the same proportion of people in de facto relationships. However, some gaps are widening; for example, the difference in outright home ownership has grown to 12 percentage points, with postcode 2431 being far higher. Similarly, the age gap between the two areas has widened since 2011.
