2797, NSW 2808, NSW

Postcode 2797 and postcode 2808 are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. They differ most in their demographics and wealth; residents are far older in postcode 2808, where the typical age is 57 compared to 47 in postcode 2797. Income is also far higher in postcode 2797, where typical weekly personal income is $804, while it is $479 in postcode 2808. Postcode 2797 is more family-oriented, with a much higher share of people caring for children unpaid (27.8% versus 13.3%) and more children under 15 (20.0% versus 13.4%).

Many of these gaps have widened since 2011, including the 10-year difference in typical age and the growing divide in weekly incomes. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas share some core similarities. Both have a high proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents compared to the national figure, and every single home in both areas is a separate detached house. They also both sit near the national average for overall advantage.
