2361, NSW 4384, QLD

Postcode 2361 and postcode 4384 are both rural areas, but they differ sharply in their demographics and wealth. Postcode 2361 is far older, with a typical resident aged 52 and 30.3% of people aged 65 or over. It has a significant Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of 16.5%. In contrast, postcode 4384 is much wealthier, with a typical weekly family income of $2,083 compared to just $1,159 in postcode 2361. Education levels are also higher in postcode 4384, where 42.9% of residents completed Year 12, while only 27.6% did so in postcode 2361.

These differences have grown more pronounced over time, with the income and age gaps both widening since 2016. Despite this, the two areas share some traits; both have roughly the same share of adults with bachelor degrees (around 7%) and very few people who speak little or no English. They are also both largely car-dependent, with no public transport stops or departures per 1,000 people in either area.
