2876, NSW 2877, NSW

Postcode 2877 and postcode 2876 are two rural New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2877 is far more diverse and populous, with an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of 20.3% compared to 5.3% in postcode 2876. It also has much better access to local amenities, with 38.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, while postcode 2876 has none. In contrast, postcode 2876 is more affluent and home-owning; 52.3% of its homes are owned outright, and 25.4% of people work from home, which is far higher than the 11.0% in postcode 2877.

Both areas are similar in their age profile, with about 20% to 21% of residents aged 65 and over, which is close to the national figure. They also share very similar typical weekly incomes and rent prices. However, the gap in home ownership has widened since 2011, and more people in postcode 2876 now work from home than in previous years, increasing the difference between these two places.
