2388, NSW 2398, NSW

Postcode 2388 and postcode 2398 are both rural areas in New South Wales, but they differ in their social and physical makeup. Postcode 2388 has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 17.7%, compared to 2.8% in postcode 2398. It is also more walkable, with 57.1% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed, whereas no homes in postcode 2398 have this access. Additionally, postcode 2388 has far more people living alone (31.1% versus 17.2%) and a higher share of renters (29.7% versus 15.5%).

Since 2011, several gaps between the two areas have widened. The difference in the proportion of people living alone, the share of renters, and the number of people with no religion have all grown. Despite these shifts, they remain similar in some ways, such as their reliance on detached houses and a similar share of adults with bachelor degrees. Both areas are mostly car-dependent, though postcode 2388 is slightly more so than postcode 2398.
