2545, NSW 2548, NSW

Postcode 2548 and postcode 2545 are two New South Wales areas with very different layouts. Postcode 2548 is more developed, with a walkability score that is somewhat walkable and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park (81.5% compared to 19.7% in postcode 2545). It is also more mobile, with 44% of people having moved there in the last five years, compared to 29% in postcode 2545. In contrast, postcode 2545 is car-dependent and consists almost entirely of separate houses, which make up 98.2% of its homes.

While the gap in the number of people moving into these areas has narrowed since 2011, they share several core traits. Both have a typical resident age of 55 and nearly identical weekly household incomes, around $1,200. They also have similar unemployment rates and a similar number of people working or looking for work. This common ground exists despite postcode 2548 having a more qualified workforce, with 20.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 14.9% in postcode 2545.
