2408, NSW 4388, QLD

Postcode 4388 and postcode 2408 are both sparsely populated areas, but they differ significantly in wealth and demographics. Postcode 4388 has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 11.8% and a higher share of older residents, with 24.7% aged 65 and over. In contrast, postcode 2408 is wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $1,839 compared to $1,050 in postcode 4388, and a much higher share of people working from home at 34.6%.

These two areas have drifted further apart in several ways since 2011. The gap in typical household income has widened, and the difference in the number of people working from home has grown significantly. However, they remain very similar in some respects, such as having nearly identical typical weekly rents and a total lack of public transport stops and departures.
