2548, NSW 2549, NSW

Postcode 2548 and postcode 2549 are two nearby areas in New South Wales with very different layouts. Postcode 2548 has far more homes within a 15-minute walk of a park (81.5%) and health services (44.9%), and it has far higher street connectivity. In contrast, postcode 2549 is much more dominated by separate houses, which make up 89.2% of homes, compared to 69.8% in postcode 2548. Postcode 2549 also has far more public transport options, including more stops and weekly departures per 1,000 people, and far more schools per 1,000 children.

Since 2011, the gaps between the two areas have shifted in several ways. The difference in the typical age of residents has narrowed, as has the gap in the share of people aged 65 and over. However, the gap in the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher has widened, with postcode 2548 remaining well higher.
