Postcode comparison ≈ 19 km apart · 2527, NSW profile · 2534, NSW profile

2527, NSW 2534, NSW

Postcode 2527 and postcode 2534 are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2534 is much older and more highly qualified, with a typical resident aged 47 and 31.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, postcode 2527 is far younger, with a typical age of 35 and only 13.3% of adults with a degree. These differences extend to housing and volunteering, with postcode 2534 seeing far higher rates of homes owned outright (46.9%) and residents who volunteer (21.4%).

Both areas are effectively alike in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $1,900. They also share similar unemployment rates and very low proportions of people who speak little or no English. While they share these day-to-day economic realities, the gap in resident age has widened since 2011, and the difference in educational attainment has also grown over the last decade.
