2821, NSW 2874, NSW

Postcode 2821 and postcode 2874 are two rural New South Wales areas with very different populations. Postcode 2821 is larger and younger, with a typical resident aged 39 and a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of 21.0%. It also has more services, with 66.5% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, postcode 2874 is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical age of 50. It is more residential in nature, with 60.2% of homes owned outright and a much higher share of people working from home at 32.7%.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, from similar unemployment rates to almost identical shares of people providing unpaid care. However, some gaps are widening. Since 2011, the typical age gap has grown to 11 years, and the difference in typical weekly rent has increased to $150. While postcode 2821 is more connected to transport, both areas are well below the national figure for people who have completed Year 12.
