2533, NSW 2541, NSW

Postcode 2541 and postcode 2533 are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2533 is much older, with a typical resident aged 48 compared to 40 in postcode 2541, and has far higher levels of education, with 29.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher against 13.8% in postcode 2541. These differences extend to income and housing, as postcode 2533 has a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (24.6% versus 10.4%) and more homes owned outright (47.5% versus 32.2%). In contrast, postcode 2541 has a far higher proportion of one-parent families (21.1% compared to 9.4%) and renters (36.7% versus 17.4%).

Since 2011, the gaps across these measures have generally widened. This is seen in the age difference, which grew from five to eight years, and the gap in people working from home, which rose from 2.8 to 19.7 percentage points. Despite this, the two areas share some common ground, such as being both somewhat walkable and having nearly identical shares of people who provide unpaid care or do not follow any religion.
