2836, NSW 2880, NSW

Postcode 2880 and postcode 2836 are two different rural New South Wales areas. Postcode 2880 is larger and more populous, with a typical resident aged 44 and 49.1% of people reporting no religion. In contrast, postcode 2836 is sparsely populated and has a much younger typical age of 36. A major difference is the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, which is far higher in postcode 2836 at 43.2% compared to 9.8% in postcode 2880. Postcode 2880 also sees far more recent overseas arrivals (19.6%) than postcode 2836, where there were none.

Both areas are similar in that very few people speak little or no English, and both have a similar share of volunteers. This common ground exists even as some gaps shift; for example, the difference in typical age has narrowed since 2011. While postcode 2880 has more people working or looking for work, both areas sit well below the national figure for this measure.
