Postcode comparison ≈ 36 km apart · 2594, NSW profile · 2809, NSW profile

2594, NSW 2809, NSW

Postcode 2594 and postcode 2809 are nearby New South Wales areas with very different scales and profiles. Postcode 2594 is a larger hub where 27.6% of households rent and 17.3% of residents arrived recently from overseas. In contrast, postcode 2809 is sparsely populated and far more traditional, with a typical resident aged 53 and 56% of homes owned outright. Postcode 2594 has larger schools and more people working full-time, while postcode 2809 has a higher share of managers and people working from home.

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has grown across several measures. The age difference has widened to 11 years, and the divide in home ownership and rental rates has increased. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain alike in some ways, such as the share of people born overseas and the proportion of residents who have served in the Defence Force. Both areas also see very few people commuting by public transport.
