2471, NSW 2473, NSW

Postcode 2473 and postcode 2471 are nearby areas in New South Wales with different living patterns. Postcode 2473 is a more compact, somewhat walkable place where residents are far older, with a typical age of 54 and 32.5% aged 65 and over. It has a higher share of renters (34.1%) and more people living alone (34.9%). In contrast, postcode 2471 is mostly car-dependent and much more rural, with 96% of homes being separate houses and a far higher share of larger homes with three or more bedrooms (80.3%).

These two areas share very similar typical weekly personal incomes, around $600, and a similar number of people using other languages at home. While they are alike in these ways, some gaps are shifting. The age difference has narrowed slightly since 2011, but the gaps in rental rates and the share of people with university degrees have both widened.
