Postcode comparison ≈ 2.2 km apart · 2502, NSW profile · 2505, NSW profile

2502, NSW 2505, NSW

Postcode 2502 and postcode 2505 are neighbouring areas with contrasting profiles. Postcode 2502 is more diverse and accessible, with 34.3% of residents using a language other than English at home and far more people living within a 15-minute walk of health services (34.6% compared to 6.2% in postcode 2505). In contrast, postcode 2505 has higher typical incomes and education levels, with 15.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 10.7% in postcode 2502.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The gap in the share of people born overseas has widened, and there is now a larger difference in the number of high-income earners. Despite these shifting trends, they remain very similar in other areas; both have about 20% of their population aged 65 and over, and the share of people who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander is almost identical at around 4.5%.
