2537, NSW 2550, NSW

Postcode 2550 and postcode 2537 are two regional New South Wales areas with a few key differences in their layout and demographics. Postcode 2550 has a younger feel, with a higher share of children under 15 (16.5%) and more people caring for children unpaid (24.6%). It also has more schools (16) and smaller average school sizes (160), compared to postcode 2537, where schools are larger, averaging 420 students. In contrast, postcode 2537 is more focused on transit and leisure access, with far more weekly public transport departures per 1,000 people (129.8 compared to 72.7) and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park (67.6%).

The gap between the two areas is widening in some ways, most notably in the age of residents; the typical person in postcode 2537 is now 6 years older than those in postcode 2550, up from a 5-year difference in 2011. Despite this, they share many similarities, including very similar typical weekly household incomes of around $1,200. Both areas also have a high share of homes owned outright—over 47% in postcode 2550 and 50.6% in postcode 2537—which is far above the national figure.
