2502, NSW 2526, NSW

Postcode 2526 and postcode 2502 are nearby areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Postcode 2526 is wealthier and more highly qualified, with 22.9% of adults holding a bachelor degree and a typical household income of $2,000 a week. In contrast, postcode 2502 has a much larger proportion of people born overseas (31.4% compared to 19.2%) and a lower typical household income of $1,138. While postcode 2526 is more car-dependent, postcode 2502 is much more walkable, with far better access to schools, health services, and public transport.

Everyday life shares some common ground in both places, as they have the same typical resident age of 39 and similar proportions of children under 15. However, the gaps between them are shifting. Postcode 2526 has seen its lead in household income and university qualifications grow since 2011. At the same time, the difference in the share of people born overseas and those using a language other than English at home has narrowed.
