2617, ACT 2618 crosses ACT/NSW

Postcode 2617 and postcode 2618 are nearby areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2617 is a populous, very walkable hub where the typical resident is 32 and 35.4% were born overseas. In contrast, postcode 2618 is a sparsely populated, car-dependent area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 44. This difference extends to housing, as 94.2% of homes in postcode 2618 are separate houses, compared to just 49.2% in postcode 2617.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have generally widened. The difference in typical age has grown to 12 years, while the gap in home ownership and the share of residents born overseas has also increased. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas remain similar in some ways; they have almost identical proportions of people who served in the Defence Force and share a similar typical weekly rent of around $440.
