2681, NSW 2706, NSW

Postcode 2681 and postcode 2706 are two rural New South Wales areas with distinct social and physical profiles. Postcode 2681 is more affluent and has a higher share of adults working or looking for work, at 69.1% compared to 57.9% in postcode 2706. There are also notable gaps in family structures and education; postcode 2706 has a far higher share of one-parent families (22.7% versus 9.4% in postcode 2681) and a much lower rate of Year 12 completion (26.6% compared to 38.1%). While postcode 2706 is somewhat walkable, postcode 2681 is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services.
