2502, NSW 2530, NSW

Postcode 2530 and postcode 2502 are nearby areas in New South Wales with very different social and economic profiles. Postcode 2530 is more affluent, with a typical household income of $1,653 a week compared to $1,138 in postcode 2502. It is also more likely to have larger homes, with 88.3% of houses having three or more bedrooms against 72.8% in postcode 2502. In contrast, postcode 2502 is much more diverse; 31.4% of its residents were born overseas and 34.3% use a language other than English at home, while those figures are much lower in postcode 2530 at 16.6% and 8.9%.

Since 2011, these two areas have drifted further apart in some ways while growing closer in others. The gap in household incomes has widened, but the difference in the share of people born overseas and those using other languages has narrowed. Despite these trends, they share many core traits: both are somewhat walkable, have the same typical resident age of 39, and have almost identical shares of children under 15.
