2818, NSW 2844, NSW

Postcode 2844 and postcode 2818 are two rural New South Wales areas with distinct demographic profiles. Residents are far older in postcode 2844, where the typical age is 51 and 30.3% of people are aged 65 or over. In contrast, the typical resident in postcode 2818 is 41. Postcode 2844 also sees a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 15.8%, while postcode 2818 has none. Access to money and resources is far higher in postcode 2818, and a much larger share of its adults are working or looking for work (65.9% compared to 49.0% in postcode 2844).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several key ways. The age gap has widened, as have the differences in overseas arrivals and the share of children under 15. Despite these shifting trends, they remain very similar in other areas. Both have about the same share of residents with bachelor degrees (around 11%) and similar unemployment rates of about 4.5%. They also track closely on the national average for overall advantage, and neither area sees any residents commuting by public transport.
