2358, NSW 2359, NSW

Postcode 2358 and postcode 2359 are two rural New South Wales areas with distinct levels of accessibility and education. Postcode 2358 is far more connected, with 45% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to none in postcode 2359. Education levels are also much higher in postcode 2358, where 17.5% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 43.5% completed Year 12, compared to just 6% and 24.7% in postcode 2359. This is reflected in the typical weekly personal income, which is well higher in postcode 2358 at $650, compared to $464 in postcode 2359.

Since 2011, the gaps between the two areas have generally widened, particularly regarding income, education, and the number of people working or looking for work. Despite these diverging trends, they share some core characteristics: both have a similar share of children under 15 (around 18%) and a similar proportion of people with long-term health conditions (about 36%). Both areas also sit below the national figure for typical weekly incomes.
