2343, NSW 2379, NSW

Postcode 2343 and postcode 2379 are two rural New South Wales areas with very different social profiles. Postcode 2343 is much larger, with a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 14.7%. It is also more rental-heavy, with 26.1% of homes rented compared to 14.7% in postcode 2379. In contrast, postcode 2379 is sparsely populated and has a workforce that is far more likely to work from home (29.8% versus 15.4%) and higher levels of education and job skills.

The gap in the number of renters has widened since 2016, but the two areas share very similar typical weekly personal and family incomes. Both areas have a population older than the national figure, and they are effectively alike in the share of people who need help with daily activities. They also share a similar level of access to a 15-minute-city walkshed, with both sitting around 32%.
