2785, NSW 2847, NSW

Postcode 2785 and postcode 2847 are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different social profiles. Postcode 2785 is much more highly qualified, with 36.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to just 8.6% in postcode 2847. This is consistent with a far higher share of people working from home in postcode 2785 (36.4% versus 8.6%) and a larger share of residents born overseas (21.2% compared to 7.3%). Postcode 2785 also has a much higher share of people with no religion at 52.4%, while postcode 2847 is at 32.0%.

Many of these gaps have widened since 2011, particularly the difference in university qualifications and working from home. Despite this, both areas are somewhat walkable and share similar rates of long-term health conditions (around 35% to 36%) and mental health conditions (around 10% to 11%). They also have almost identical numbers of public transport stops per 1,000 people and similar shares of one-parent families.
