2868, NSW 2870, NSW

Postcode 2870 is a larger, more connected area than postcode 2868, with a walkability score that is somewhat walkable compared to the mostly car-dependent nature of postcode 2868. The two areas differ sharply in their infrastructure and population; postcode 2870 has far more public transport stops and weekly departures, while postcode 2868 is sparsely populated with only 579 residents. Economic gaps are also clear, as the typical weekly family income in postcode 2870 is $1,871, which is well higher than the $1,437 found in postcode 2868.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several key ways. The gap in typical resident age has widened to 6 years, with people in postcode 2868 now noticeably older, and the difference in family income has also grown. However, they remain similar in their home sizes and the share of people who are employed full-time. Both areas also sit near the national figure for people born overseas, though postcode 2870 has seen a rise in recent overseas arrivals that has widened the gap between the two.
