2611 crosses ACT/NSW 2727, NSW

Postcode 2727 and postcode 2611 are two very different New South Wales areas. Postcode 2611 is a much larger, diverse hub where 28.2% of people were born overseas and 46.4% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, postcode 2727 is sparsely populated and far more traditional, with no residents born overseas and a typical weekly personal income of $778, compared to $1,301 in postcode 2611. While postcode 2611 is very walkable, postcode 2727 is car-dependent and consists entirely of separate houses.

Both areas share a similar proportion of children under 15, sitting at around 21%. However, they have drifted apart in many other ways since 2011. The gap in typical weekly incomes has grown to $523, and the difference in home ownership has widened, with postcode 2727 now far more likely to have homes owned outright. The two areas also differ greatly in their workforces, as half of the people in postcode 2727 work in agriculture, forestry and fishing.
