2409, NSW 4385 crosses QLD/NSW

Postcode 4385 and postcode 2409 are both sparsely populated areas with similar overall levels of advantage. However, they differ sharply in their demographics and housing. Postcode 4385 has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 51 and 29.2% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, postcode 2409 is younger, with a typical age of 36. There is also a significant gap in Indigenous population, which is far higher in postcode 2409 at 39.3%, compared to 9.1% in postcode 4385. These areas also differ in how people live; postcode 4385 has far more homes owned outright (48.4%), while postcode 2409 has a much higher share of renters at 45.3%.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions across several measures, though some gaps are closing. The difference in the typical age of residents and the share of Indigenous people has narrowed, while the gap in volunteering and the number of one-parent families has widened. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain very similar in some ways. They share nearly identical typical weekly incomes, around $500, and neither area has any public transport stops. Both also sit at the lowest level for access to money, resources, and job skills.
