2582, NSW 2585, NSW

Postcode 2582 and postcode 2585 are nearby areas in New South Wales that differ sharply in scale and wealth. Postcode 2582 is the larger hub with a population of 13,693, where the typical household earns $2,175 a week and 58.1% of residents finished Year 12. In contrast, postcode 2585 is sparsely populated with just 235 people, a typical weekly household income of $1,111, and a lower school completion rate of 37.3%.

Many of the gaps between the two have widened since 2011, particularly regarding income, education, and the share of people with no religion. Despite these diverging trends, the areas remain alike in some ways: they have nearly identical rates of people who use another language at home and those who need help with daily activities. Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
