2822, NSW 2842, NSW

Postcode 2842 and postcode 2822 are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Postcode 2842 has a much older population, with 26.4% aged 65 and over, and far more people volunteering (23.5%). It is also more accessible for some, as 37.2% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of both a park and groceries. In contrast, postcode 2822 is more prosperous, with a typical weekly household income of $1,292 compared to $941 in postcode 2842. It also has a higher share of adults working or looking for work at 58.6%, while that figure is much lower in postcode 2842 at 46.6%.

These two areas share a very similar demographic profile, with nearly identical shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (around 10%) and children under 15 (about 18%). However, many of the gaps between them have grown since 2016. The difference in typical weekly household income has widened, and the gap in home-loan payments has increased, with costs far higher in postcode 2822.
