2648, NSW 2717, NSW

Postcode 2648 and postcode 2717 are both regional New South Wales areas with a few sharp contrasts. Postcode 2717 has a far higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (20.8% compared to 7.6%) and a much higher proportion of renters at 32.8%. In contrast, postcode 2648 is older, with a typical resident aged 51, and has a far higher rate of home ownership, with 45.9% of homes owned outright. Postcode 2648 also has more residents with long-term health conditions and a higher share of people living alone.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions across several measures. The gap in home ownership has widened, while the difference in the typical age of residents has narrowed. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in other ways, such as having almost identical typical weekly household incomes of around $1,066 to $1,095. Both areas also have similar levels of people born overseas and a nearly identical share of residents who do not identify with a religion.
