2645, NSW 2716, NSW

Postcode 2716 and postcode 2645 are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Postcode 2645 is far older, with a typical resident aged 58 compared to 50 in postcode 2716. This older population is reflected in health and housing, as postcode 2645 has a far higher share of people with long-term health conditions (48.1% versus 32.5%) and more homes owned outright (60.6% versus 48.8%). Postcode 2716 has a higher typical weekly household income of $1,239, compared to $933 in postcode 2645.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several key ways. The age gap has widened to 8 years, and the difference in typical household income has grown. Despite these shifts, they remain alike in many respects, such as having the same typical home size of 2.2 people and similar rates of volunteering. Both areas are also very similar in their small proportions of people born overseas and those who speak little or no English.
