Postcode comparison ≈ 85 km apart · 2821, NSW profile · 2875, NSW profile

2821, NSW 2875, NSW

Postcode 2821 and postcode 2875 are two regional New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2821 is a larger population centre where 21% of residents are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and it has much better access to amenities; for example, 66.5% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport compared to just 1.6% in postcode 2875. In contrast, postcode 2875 is much older, with a typical resident aged 50 compared to 39 in postcode 2821, and far more people working from home (21.1% versus 11.1%).

The gap in typical age between the two areas has widened since 2011, moving from 5 years to 11 years. Despite this, they share several similarities, such as almost identical rates of adults with a bachelor degree (around 11%) and very few residents born overseas. Both areas also have a high share of homes with three or more bedrooms, which is well above the national figure.
