2441, NSW 2445, NSW

Postcode 2445 and postcode 2441 are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different levels of accessibility and advantage. Postcode 2445 is far more walkable, with 90.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park and more people living in larger four-bedroom homes. It also has higher typical incomes, with 15.2% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, postcode 2441 is more spread out but has much better access to public transport, with 7.0 stops per 1,000 people compared to just 1.09 in postcode 2445.

Everyday life in both places is similar in a few ways: they have nearly identical shares of children under 15, similar rates of home renting, and very few people who use public transport to commute. However, the gaps between them are often widening. Since 2011, postcode 2445 has become notably older and more qualified, with a larger gap in bachelor's degrees and a higher share of seniors. The difference in how many people have moved into the area recently has also grown, with 39.9% of residents in postcode 2445 arriving in the last five years.
