2817, NSW 2829, NSW

Postcode 2829 and postcode 2817 are two rural New South Wales areas with very different social profiles. Postcode 2829 has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 36.4%, compared to 2.8% in postcode 2817. It also has a much higher share of one-parent families (27.2% versus 8.2%) and more renters, with 31.0% of homes rented compared to 11.0% in postcode 2817. In contrast, postcode 2817 is far more likely to have people working from home (35.1% versus 8.7%) and has a higher rate of adults working or looking for work at 65.9%.

These two areas have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with the gaps in renting, one-parent families, and working from home all widening over time. Despite this, they share some basic traits, such as the same share of people aged 65 and over (19.5%) and very similar typical weekly family incomes.
