2817, NSW 2827, NSW

Postcode 2827 and postcode 2817 are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2827 has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 15.8%, and a higher share of one-parent families (20.9%) and renters (26.3%). In contrast, postcode 2817 is more likely to have people working from home (35.1%) and a higher share of adults working or looking for work at 65.9%. Postcode 2827 is also more walkable (mostly car-dependent) than postcode 2817 (car-dependent), with more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and parks.

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has shifted in several ways. The difference in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations and one-parent families has widened, while the gap in volunteering and workforce activity has narrowed. Despite these changes, the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They share a nearly identical typical weekly household income of around $1,100, and both have a very high proportion of separate houses, at over 92%.
