2661, NSW 2702, NSW

Postcode 2702 and postcode 2661 are two very different sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Residents in postcode 2702 are far older, with a typical age of 48 compared to just 23 in postcode 2661. This age gap is reflected in health and home ownership; people in postcode 2702 are far more likely to have a long-term health condition (36.1% versus 9.4%) and to own their home outright (46.5% versus 0%). In contrast, postcode 2661 is characterized by a high proportion of renters (100%) and a workforce dominated by public administration and safety, with a typical weekly household income of $2,386, which is far higher than the $1,175 seen in postcode 2702.
