2779, NSW 2784, NSW

Postcode 2779 and postcode 2784 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney that differ sharply in how people get around. Postcode 2779 is somewhat walkable, with 81.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school and 58.6% near groceries. In contrast, postcode 2784 is mostly car-dependent, where only 1.2% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school and just 2.1% are near groceries. This gap is reflected in the infrastructure, as postcode 2779 has far more public transport stops (28 compared to 7) and a much higher number of schools within 3 km.

These two areas are very similar in their general makeup, with nearly identical shares of university graduates, people born overseas, and those who identify as having no religion. They also share similar typical household incomes. While they are alike in these ways, some social gaps are shifting; for example, the proportion of one-parent families is well higher in postcode 2779, and this gap has widened since 2011.
