2450, NSW 2455, NSW

Postcode 2450 and postcode 2455 are nearby areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Postcode 2450 is much larger and more diverse, with 18.5% of residents arriving from overseas recently and a typical weekly household income that is well higher at $1,386. In contrast, postcode 2455 is far older; the typical resident is 55, which is 11 years older than in postcode 2450. This age gap is reflected in the home ownership rates, as homes are owned outright far more in postcode 2455 (48.3%) than in postcode 2450 (36.8%).

Since 2011, the gap in typical age has widened, while the difference in the share of adults working or looking for work has narrowed. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas share several characteristics, such as similar unemployment rates of around 5% and almost identical proportions of people working from home. Both also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
