2749, NSW 2757, NSW

Postcode 2749 and postcode 2757 are nearby areas in New South Wales with very different layouts. Postcode 2749 is a larger, more youthful place where the typical resident is 34 and children under 15 make up 22.9% of the population. It is somewhat walkable, with 87% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, postcode 2757 is mostly car-dependent and much older, with a typical age of 43 and 21.2% of residents aged 65 and over. There are also big differences in housing; 44% of homes in postcode 2757 are owned outright, while 25.7% of households in postcode 2749 are renting.

These two areas have tracked in different directions since 2011, as the gap in the number of older residents has widened and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population has become more concentrated in postcode 2749. Despite this, they share a similar proportion of people born overseas, around 15%. They also have nearly identical home sizes, with about 3 people per home, and both areas sit well below the national figure for adults with a bachelor degree or higher.
