2642, NSW 2643, NSW

Postcode 2642 and postcode 2643 are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2643 is far older, with a typical resident aged 49 and 29.6% of people aged 65 and over. This is consistent with a much higher rate of long-term health conditions there, at 39.4%. In contrast, postcode 2642 has a younger feel, with a typical age of 41 and a higher share of children under 15 (22.4%). Postcode 2642 also scores far higher for overall advantage and job skills.

The age gap between the two has widened since 2011, growing from 5 to 8 years.

Their daily environments differ greatly; postcode 2643 is somewhat walkable with many homes within a short walk of public transport, while postcode 2642 is mostly car-dependent.
