Postcode comparison ≈ 75 km apart · 2844, NSW profile · 2850, NSW profile

2844, NSW 2850, NSW

Postcode 2850 and postcode 2844 are two regional New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2850 is younger and wealthier, with a typical weekly income of $1,671 and a typical age of 40. In contrast, residents in postcode 2844 are far older, with a typical age of 51 and a much lower typical weekly income of $1,020. Postcode 2850 also sees more movement, with 41.7% of people moving in the last five years compared to just 25.5% in postcode 2844.

These differences have grown more pronounced over time, particularly as the age gap between the two areas has widened from 4 to 11 years since 2011. Despite this, the two areas are both mostly car-dependent. They share similar levels of full-time employment and have almost identical rates of people who speak little or no English. Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
