2502, NSW 2527, NSW

Postcode 2527 and postcode 2502 are two nearby areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2527 is wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $1,884 compared to $1,138 in postcode 2502. It also has far more large homes, with 90% having three or more bedrooms, and a higher share of adults working or looking for work at 64.1%. In contrast, postcode 2502 is much more diverse; 31.4% of people were born overseas and 34.3% use a language other than English at home, which is far higher than the 13.2% and 6.4% seen in postcode 2527.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have moved in different directions. The divide in household incomes and the number of people living alone has widened, while the gap in overseas birth and home language use has narrowed. Despite these shifts, they remain similar in some ways, such as having a similar share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and being somewhat walkable. Both areas also sit near the national figure for people with no religion, though postcode 2527 is far higher at 39.7% than postcode 2502's 27.0%.
