2528, NSW 2529, NSW

Postcode 2529 and postcode 2528 are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different financial profiles. Postcode 2529 is much wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $1,878 compared to $1,166 in postcode 2528. This difference is mirrored in the housing and workforce, as postcode 2529 has far more homes with three or more bedrooms and a much higher share of adults working or looking for work (60.8% versus 47.9%). In contrast, postcode 2528 has a higher proportion of people living alone (30.7%) and a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 6.8%.

These income and education gaps have widened since 2011, with the difference in typical household income growing to $712.
