2519, NSW 2526, NSW

Postcode 2519 is somewhat walkable, with 82.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a city-style hub and 94% within reach of a school. In contrast, postcode 2526 is mostly car-dependent, where detached houses are far more common at 88.6% compared to 68.5% in postcode 2519, and 85.3% of homes have three or more bedrooms.

Typical weekly personal incomes are almost identical in both places, sitting around $755 to $784.
