2518, NSW 2525, NSW

Postcode 2518 and postcode 2525 are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different lifestyles. Postcode 2518 is much more walkable, with 94.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a '15-minute-city' area and 73.5% close to groceries. It has a higher share of renters (37.0%) and people living alone (31.4%). In contrast, postcode 2525 is more car-dependent, with 85.8% of homes having three or more bedrooms and 82.4% being separate houses. Typical weekly incomes are well higher in postcode 2525, at $2,042 compared to $1,434 in postcode 2518.

Both areas are very similar in their unemployment rates and the proportion of recent overseas arrivals. They also share nearly identical typical monthly home-loan payments and the same walk distance to the nearest public transport stop. While they share these day-to-day patterns, the gap in typical household income has widened since 2011, and the difference in the number of separate houses has also increased.
