2405, NSW 2406 crosses NSW/QLD

Postcode 2406 and postcode 2405 are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Postcode 2406 has a higher share of renters at 31.6% and one-parent families at 21.1%, compared to 12.5% and 8.7% in postcode 2405. Residents in postcode 2406 also have much better local access to essentials, with 66.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, while postcode 2405 has no such access. In contrast, postcode 2405 is more likely to have people working from home (26.8% versus 12.6%) and a higher share of recent overseas arrivals (50.0% versus 29.5%).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several key ways. The gap in rental rates and the share of one-parent families has widened, while the difference in the number of people working from home has also grown. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in other respects. Both areas have almost identical typical weekly personal incomes, and the same proportion of people without a motor vehicle.
