2810, NSW 2871, NSW

Postcode 2871 and postcode 2810 are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2871 is younger, with 19.8% of people under 15, and has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 13.7%. It also has far better access to public transport, with 67.2% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop. In contrast, postcode 2810 is far older, with a typical resident aged 52, and far more residents own their homes outright (50.6%).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways, including a widening gap in typical age and the share of children. Yet they remain alike in other ways, such as having almost the same number of people per home and similar rates of unemployment. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for people who volunteer, though this gap has narrowed slightly over the last decade.
