2626, NSW 2631, NSW

Postcode 2631 and postcode 2626 are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales, but they differ sharply in wealth and home ownership. Postcode 2626 is much more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $2,202 compared to $1,222 in postcode 2631. While 57.8% of homes in postcode 2631 are owned outright, only 41.4% are in postcode 2626. Conversely, people are far more likely to live alone in postcode 2631, where 37.6% of households are single-person homes, compared to just 16.1% in postcode 2626.

They also track similarly in health, with about a third of residents in both places living with a long-term health condition. However, the financial gap between them has widened since 2011, particularly in typical weekly incomes and the share of households earning $3,000 or more.
