2783, NSW 2785, NSW

Postcode 2785 and postcode 2783 are nearby areas in New South Wales with very different characters. Postcode 2785 is much older, with a typical resident aged 53 and 29.2% of the population aged 65 or over. This area has more people who own their homes outright (47.0%) and better access to public transport, with far more stops and departures per person. In contrast, postcode 2783 is more walkable for daily needs; far more homes are within a 15-minute walk of schools (79.7% compared to 46.3%), groceries (70.8% versus 42.8%), and health services (69.0% versus 41.5%).

Both areas share very similar typical weekly personal incomes, around $730 to $740, and nearly identical rates of people using another language at home. While they are alike in these ways, the age gap between them has widened since 2011, with postcode 2785 becoming far older than postcode 2783. This trend is consistent with the growing difference in senior populations, as the gap for those aged 65 and over has also increased over the last decade.
