2530, NSW 2534, NSW

Postcode 2530 and postcode 2534 are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2534 is an older, more affluent area where the typical resident is 47, compared to 39 in postcode 2530. It has a much more highly qualified workforce, with 31.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 13.5% in postcode 2530. Postcode 2530 is better served by transport and education, with far more public transport stops and a much larger number of schools within 3km.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the proportion of people who speak little or no English. This shared trait sits alongside a growing divide in other areas; for example, the gap in home ownership and the difference in typical age have both widened since 2011. While postcode 2530 has more children and is closer to the national figure for age, postcode 2534 has a much higher share of people aged 65 and over than the national average.
