2629, NSW 2900, ACT

Postcode 2629 and postcode 2900 are very different types of places. Postcode 2629 is a sparsely populated area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 58 and 35.4% aged 65 or over. Most people live in separate houses, and 58% of homes are owned outright. In contrast, postcode 2900 is a much more urban environment where the typical age is 36. It is far more diverse, with 31.1% of people born overseas and 23.8% using another language at home. It also has a much more highly qualified workforce, with 37.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher.

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, such as the same proportion of people providing unpaid care (10.9%) and almost identical shares of children under 15. However, the gap in typical weekly personal income has widened since 2011, with postcode 2900 now $574 higher. This trend mirrors other growing divides, such as the gap in home ownership and the number of people who have moved recently, which is far higher in postcode 2900.
