2484, NSW 2489, NSW

Postcode 2484 and postcode 2489 are nearby New South Wales areas with very different layouts. Postcode 2489 is a more compact, somewhat walkable area where 62.8% of homes are in a 15-minute-city walkshed and there is far greater access to money and resources. In contrast, postcode 2484 is mostly car-dependent and more spread out, though it has a far higher number of schools within 3 km and a higher share of separate houses at 88.2%.

Since 2011, the gap in separate housing has narrowed, but the two areas have diverged in other ways. Postcode 2489 has seen its share of children and university-qualified adults grow faster than in postcode 2484. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in other respects, such as having the same share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (3.5%) and nearly identical proportions of residents aged 65 and over.
