2431, NSW 2441, NSW

Postcode 2431 and postcode 2441 are two New South Wales areas with very different layouts. Postcode 2431 is much more walkable, with 66% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 65.7% near health services. Postcode 2441 is car-dependent and more rural, with 97.4% of people living in separate houses. There is also a notable age gap, as the typical resident in postcode 2431 is far older at 58, compared to 50 in postcode 2441. This is reflected in the number of seniors, who make up 38.1% of the population in postcode 2431, compared to 23.3% in postcode 2441.

This age gap has widened since 2011, while the two areas remain very similar in other ways. Both have roughly the same share of people born overseas (around 9%) and a similar typical weekly income of about $540. They also share similar levels of university qualifications and a similar proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. While postcode 2441 has more adults working or looking for work, both areas sit well below the national figure for this measure.
