2820, NSW 2850, NSW

Postcode 2850 and postcode 2820 are two regional areas in New South Wales. Postcode 2850 is larger and generally more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,671 compared to $1,122 in postcode 2820. This wealth gap is reflected in home loans, where typical monthly payments in postcode 2850 are far higher at $1,733, while those in postcode 2820 are much lower at $1,083. However, postcode 2820 is far more walkable; for example, 46.1% of its homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services, compared to just 11.2% in postcode 2850.

The gap in typical household incomes has widened since 2011, and other differences are growing too, such as the share of people who finished Year 12. Despite this, the two areas are very similar in some ways. They have almost identical proportions of people born overseas and a similar rate of adults with long-term health conditions. Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
