2658, NSW 2661, NSW

Postcode 2658 and postcode 2661 are nearby areas with very different populations. Postcode 2658 is a much older area where the typical resident is 49 and 28.6% of people are aged 65 or over. In contrast, postcode 2661 is far younger with a typical age of 23 and only 0.8% of people aged 65 and over. There is also a large gap in wealth and schooling; the typical household income in postcode 2661 is $2,386 per week, compared to $1,069 in postcode 2658, and 77.1% of residents in postcode 2661 completed Year 12 compared to 33.4% in postcode 2658.

Both areas are alike in that they have almost no one who speaks little or no English. While they share this commonality, other gaps are widening. The age difference has grown since 2011, and the gap in household income has also increased. Postcode 2661 has a very high number of Defence Force veterans at 81.3%, which helps explain why 100% of homes there are rented and the population is so young.
