2824, NSW 2839, NSW

Postcode 2839 and postcode 2824 are two rural areas in New South Wales with very different social profiles. Postcode 2839 is much younger, with a typical resident aged 35, and has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 52%. It is also a place where renting is far more common, with 55% of households renting compared to 25.4% in postcode 2824. By contrast, postcode 2824 is far older, with a typical age of 46, and a much higher share of people who own their homes outright (42.1%).

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, such as the same typical household size of 2.3 people and almost identical rates of full-time employment. However, the gaps between them are shifting. While the difference in the size of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations has narrowed since 2011, the gap in the typical age of residents has widened. Postcode 2824 has also seen its share of home ownership grow further apart from postcode 2839 over the last decade.
