2731, NSW 3562, VIC

Postcode 2731 and postcode 3562 are neighbouring areas with very different scales and layouts. Postcode 2731 is a larger population centre where 29.5% of people are seniors, compared to 18.7% in postcode 3562. It is more walkable and connected, with 62.3% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport, while only 7.8% of homes in postcode 3562 have that access. In contrast, postcode 3562 is sparsely populated and more car-dependent, though it has a higher typical weekly income of $1,774 compared to $1,347 in postcode 2731.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for overall advantage. Despite this, they have drifted apart in other ways since 2011. The gap in the number of seniors has widened, and postcode 3562 has become far more likely to have residents with no religion. However, the two areas remain similar in other respects, such as having almost the same share of children under 15 and nearly identical rates of people who speak little or no English.
