2833, NSW 2834, NSW

Postcode 2834 and postcode 2833 are two rural New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2834 is much older, with a typical resident aged 53 and 29.5% of people aged 65 and over. It is also a place where more people live alone (44.1%) and own their homes outright (49.1%). In contrast, postcode 2833 has a younger population with a typical age of 39 and a much higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (35.3%). This area is also more dependent on the land, with 40.4% of the workforce in agriculture, forestry and fishing, compared to a focus on accommodation and food in postcode 2834.

These two areas are drifting further apart as the age gap has widened since 2011. Despite this, they share similar levels of overall advantage and typical weekly family incomes, which sit around $1,200. Both areas have a low share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, and roughly the same percentage of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries.
