2401, NSW 2408, NSW

Postcode 2408 and postcode 2401 are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Postcode 2408 is generally wealthier, with 17% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to just 3.7% in postcode 2401. This higher income is consistent with a better-qualified workforce, as 47.9% of residents in postcode 2408 finished Year 12, while only 36.8% did so in postcode 2401. In contrast, postcode 2401 has a much higher rate of long-term health conditions at 31.4%, compared to 14.5% in postcode 2408.

Financial gaps between the two have widened since 2011, with the share of high-income earners rising more quickly in postcode 2408. Despite this, both areas share similar employment rates, with about 68% of adults working or looking for work. They also both have very few people who speak a language other than English at home. While postcode 2401 has better access to public transport and parks, neither area has any homes within walking distance of groceries or health services.
