2870, NSW 2876, NSW

Postcode 2870 and postcode 2876 are nearby areas in New South Wales with very different scales and lifestyles. Postcode 2870 is more populous and somewhat walkable, with 76.5% of homes within a 10 minute walk of public transport and 35.9% of people having moved there in the last five years. In contrast, postcode 2876 is sparsely populated and mostly car-dependent, with a much higher share of people working from home (25.4% compared to 9.2%) and a higher rate of outright home ownership at 52.3%.

These two areas share a very similar typical weekly household income, which sits around the national figure. They also have similar rates of Year 12 completion and a similar share of people who have served in the Defence Force. While they have much in common, some gaps have widened since 2011, such as the difference in the share of people who own their homes outright and those who rent.
