2387, NSW 2397, NSW

Postcode 2397 and postcode 2387 are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. They differ most in their demographics and wealth; the typical resident in postcode 2397 is far older at 45, compared to just 33 in postcode 2387. Income is also quite different, with a typical weekly household income of $1,781 in postcode 2387, which is well higher than the $1,292 seen in postcode 2397. Postcode 2397 has a far higher share of homes owned outright (42.7%) and a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (10.8%).

These two areas have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with gaps in income and rent widening or flipping over time. Despite these shifting trends, they share a very similar housing style, with almost every home being a separate house. They are also alike in their lack of accessibility, as no one in either area lives within a 15-minute walk of groceries. Both areas sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
