2666, NSW 2721, NSW

Postcode 2666 and postcode 2721 are nearby areas in New South Wales, though postcode 2721 is sparsely populated. Postcode 2666 is much older, with 26.7% of residents aged 65 and over, compared to 16.5% in postcode 2721. It also has a higher typical weekly household income of $1,231, while the figure in postcode 2721 is $959. In contrast, working from home is far more common in postcode 2721, where 35.4% of people do so, compared to just 10.8% in postcode 2666.

Daily life in both areas is very similar in some ways, as they share nearly identical rates of people born overseas and those who do not identify with a religion. They also both have a high proportion of homes with three or more bedrooms. While the two areas share these traits, some gaps are shifting; the difference in the number of people aged 65 and over has widened since 2011, but the gap in home-loan payments has narrowed slightly.
