2445, NSW 2446, NSW

Postcode 2446 and postcode 2445 are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different layouts and demographics. Postcode 2446 is more family-focused, with 19.3% of people being children under 15 and a far higher number of schools. In contrast, postcode 2445 is much older, with a typical resident aged 52 and a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (30.4%). Postcode 2445 also feels more connected, as 90.1% of homes are within a 15 minute walk of a park, compared to 49.9% in postcode 2446.

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has grown in several key ways. Residents in postcode 2445 have become far older than those in postcode 2446, and the difference in university qualifications has also widened.
