2529, NSW 2534, NSW

Postcode 2529 and postcode 2534 are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2534 is a more highly educated and older community, where 31.2% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher compared to 16.8% in postcode 2529. Residents in postcode 2534 are also more likely to own their homes outright (46.9% versus 36.1%) and volunteer (21.4% versus 10.5%). In contrast, postcode 2529 is more urbanised, with a much higher number of public transport stops and far more homes within a 15-minute walk of a school (79.1% versus 37.1%).

Despite these gaps, the two areas are remarkably similar in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $1,900. They also share a nearly identical percentage of people in de facto relationships and people who need help with daily activities. While some differences are growing—such as the gap in university qualifications—others are narrowing, including the difference in the share of people born overseas and those using a language other than English at home.
