2680, NSW 2700, NSW

Postcode 2680 and postcode 2700 are two New South Wales areas with very different social make-ups. Postcode 2680 is far more diverse, with 23.4% of people born overseas and 24.2% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 2700 has a much higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (13.4% compared to 5.4%) and a noticeably older population, with a typical age of 44. There are also stark differences in transport; postcode 2680 has far more public transport stops and weekly departures, and 74.6% of its homes are within a 10-minute walk of a stop, while only 20.6% of homes in postcode 2700 share that access.

Many of the gaps between these two areas have widened since 2011, particularly regarding education, employment, and overseas birth. Despite these drifting trends, the two areas remain somewhat walkable and have very similar shares of children under 15. They also share a similar overall advantage score, both of which sit near the national average.
