2470, NSW 2473, NSW

Postcode 2470 and postcode 2473 are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different housing and age profiles. Postcode 2470 has a younger population, with children under 15 making up 19.5% of residents, and a high share of separate houses (88.5%). In contrast, postcode 2473 is far older, with a typical resident aged 54 and a much higher proportion of people aged 65 and over (32.5%). Postcode 2473 also has more residents with bachelor degrees (15.2% compared to 8.0%) and more homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, groceries, and public transport.

These differences in education are becoming more pronounced, as the gap in bachelor degree holders has widened since 2011. Despite these trends, the two areas share several similarities, including almost identical typical weekly personal incomes of around $620. They also have very similar shares of people who use another language at home and households that earn $3,000 or more per week.
