2399, NSW 2404, NSW

Postcode 2404 and postcode 2399 are two rural New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2404 is much older, with a typical resident aged 57 and 37.8% of the population aged 65 and over. This is consistent with a higher share of people with long-term health conditions (39.4%) and more residents who volunteer. In contrast, postcode 2399 has a younger population and is far more prosperous; its typical household income is $1,615 a week, compared to just $889 in postcode 2404. Postcode 2399 also has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 30.8%.

The gap in typical incomes between these two places has widened since 2011, growing from $439 to $817. Despite this, they share several similarities, such as a similar proportion of people with no religion (around 23%) and almost identical typical weekly rents of about $200. While postcode 2404 is somewhat walkable, postcode 2399 is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services.
