2873, NSW 2877, NSW

Postcode 2877 and postcode 2873 are two regional New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2877 is far more diverse, with 39% of residents arriving recently from overseas and 20.3% identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. It is also a younger area where 21.8% of people are children under 15, and one-parent families are far more common at 16.8%. In contrast, postcode 2873 has a much older population, with a typical age of 52 and nearly 30% of residents aged 65 and over. Home ownership is also more prevalent in postcode 2873, where 53.4% of homes are owned outright.

Daily life in both places shares several similarities, as almost everyone lives in a separate house and about 56% of adults are working or looking for work. They also both have similar shares of people born overseas and those who do not follow a religion. While they share these commonalities, some gaps are widening; the difference in the typical age of residents has grown to 13 years, and the gap in home ownership has increased since 2011.
