2556, NSW 2745, NSW

Postcode 2745 and postcode 2556 are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2745 is more urban and mobile, with 36.2% of people moving in the last five years and a walkability score that is somewhat walkable. In contrast, postcode 2556 is car-dependent, with a much higher share of homes owned outright (48.9% compared to 25.9% in postcode 2745). Education and employment also differ sharply; postcode 2745 has a much higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (20.7% versus 10.1%) and a higher proportion of adults working or looking for work (71.8% compared to 51.8%).

Both areas are very similar when it comes to the typical weekly rent, which is around $480 to $500. They also share similar household sizes, with 3.2 people per home in each. While they have these similarities, many other gaps have widened since 2011. This is clearly seen in the employment and housing figures, where the difference in full-time work and outright home ownership has grown over time.
