2864, NSW 2870, NSW

Postcode 2870 and postcode 2864 are two New South Wales areas with very different scales and profiles. Postcode 2870 is a larger population centre where 14.4% of people arrived recently from overseas and many more live in rentals, at 28.2%. It is more walkable, with 43% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to 0% in postcode 2864. In contrast, postcode 2864 is much smaller and has a higher share of homes owned outright at 48.4%. It also has a higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in postcode 2870, at 12.3%, compared to 2.3% in postcode 2864.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have tended to widen. This is seen in the growing difference in home ownership and the increasing share of recent overseas arrivals in postcode 2870. Despite these shifts, they share very similar typical weekly household incomes, both around $1,400, and both sit near the national average for overall advantage. They are also alike in that about 6% of their residents were born overseas.
