2875, NSW 2877, NSW

Postcode 2877 and postcode 2875 are rural New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2877 is much younger, with a typical resident aged 39, and has a far higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 39.0%. It is also better connected, with 31.1% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport compared to just 1.6% in postcode 2875. In contrast, postcode 2875 has a much older population with a typical age of 50, and more people who own their homes outright (48.6% versus 38.5%).

Both areas have a similar number of people living alone, at around 31%.
