2527, NSW 2576, NSW

Postcode 2527 and postcode 2576 are nearby areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Postcode 2527 is much younger, with a typical resident aged 35, and has a well higher share of children under 15 (21.0%). This is consistent with a higher share of adults caring for children unpaid (31.8%). In contrast, postcode 2576 is far older, with a typical resident aged 56 and 38.3% of the population aged 65 and over. Postcode 2576 also has far more residents who own their homes outright (53.2%) and a much higher share of adults with bachelor degrees (31.5%).

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to typical weekly family income, which is around $2,100 to $2,200. They also share similar rates of unemployment and nearly the same proportion of people who speak a language other than English at home (around 6%). However, some gaps have widened since 2011, such as the difference in typical age, which has grown from 15 to 21 years. The gap in home ownership has also increased, with postcode 2576 becoming even more likely to own homes outright.
