2818, NSW 2866, NSW

Postcode 2866 and postcode 2818 are two New South Wales areas with distinct layouts. Postcode 2818 is more likely to have separate houses (99.7%) and a higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (15.7%). In contrast, postcode 2866 has a more varied housing mix and is the only one of the two where residents can walk to groceries (39.0%) or health services (46.7%) within 15 minutes. Postcode 2866 also has far larger schools, with an average size of 250 students compared to just 33 in postcode 2818.

These areas have tracked differently since 2011, with several gaps widening over time. The difference in the share of separate houses and the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have both increased. However, they share many common traits, including a similar typical weekly household income (around $1,400) and a nearly identical share of children under 15. Both areas also have a much lower share of university-qualified adults than the national figure.
