2835, NSW 2836, NSW

Postcode 2835 and postcode 2836 are two large, sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. They differ sharply in wealth and workforce, with postcode 2835 seeing far higher typical weekly household incomes ($1,811 compared to $1,071). Postcode 2835 also has a much larger share of recent overseas arrivals at 23.7%, while postcode 2836 has none. In contrast, postcode 2836 has a far higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (43.2% compared to 14.4%) and a higher share of one-parent families at 38.5%.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened, particularly regarding income and the number of adults working or looking for work. Despite these diverging trends, they share a very similar age structure, with the typical resident in both areas being 36. They also have almost identical proportions of children under 15 (21%) and similar levels of volunteerism. Both areas are mostly car-dependent, though postcode 2836 has more homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport.
