2820, NSW 2852, NSW

Postcode 2820 and postcode 2852 are two regional areas in New South Wales located about 55 km apart. Postcode 2820 has a much higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at 25.0%, compared to 7.5% in postcode 2852. It is also far more connected to public transport, with 61.2% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop, while only 28.2% of homes in postcode 2852 have the same access. In contrast, postcode 2852 is generally wealthier; its typical family income is $1,774 a week, which is well higher than the $1,414 typical in postcode 2820.

Both areas are similar in their age profiles, with about 21% of residents aged 65 and over, and both sit near the national figure for the share of children under 15.
