2305, NSW 2306, NSW

Postcode 2305 and postcode 2306 are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2305 is a wealthier area where typical weekly household income is $1,992, compared to just $775 in postcode 2306. There is also a large gap in education; 33.6% of adults in postcode 2305 hold a bachelor degree or higher, while only 3.7% do in postcode 2306. In contrast, postcode 2306 has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 16.2%, compared to 3.1% in postcode 2305.
