2628, NSW 2632, NSW

Postcode 2628 and postcode 2632 are two rural New South Wales areas with similar populations, but they differ in their social and educational profiles. Postcode 2628 has a far higher share of people with no religion (44.5% compared to 29.7%) and more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (18.7% versus 11.5%). It also has a far higher proportion of people who finished Year 12, at 49.7% compared to 35.0% in postcode 2632. In contrast, postcode 2632 is more walkable for daily needs, with 42.4% of homes within a 15 minute walk of groceries, compared to just 5.3% in postcode 2628.

These gaps have generally grown since 2011, including the difference in the proportion of people with no religion and the share of residents with university degrees. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas remain alike in several ways. They have almost the same proportion of children under 15 and very similar typical weekly personal incomes, which sit around the national figure. Both areas also rely heavily on detached houses and have very low rates of public transport use.
