2505, NSW 2518, NSW

Postcode 2518 and postcode 2505 are nearby New South Wales areas with very different layouts. Postcode 2518 is more walkable, with 73.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries compared to only 30.5% in postcode 2505. It also has a more qualified workforce, with a higher share of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher (21.0% versus 15.6%). In contrast, postcode 2505 has a higher proportion of separate houses (76.7% compared to 57.9%) and a much higher share of people who use a language other than English at home (23.7% versus 12.0%).

Both areas have a very similar age profile, with about 17% of residents being children under 15 and around 20% being aged 65 and over. However, some gaps are shifting; for example, the difference in the share of people born overseas has narrowed since 2011. Meanwhile, the gap in the number of separate houses has widened over the same period, as postcode 2505 remains far more likely to have these homes than postcode 2518.
