2880, NSW 5731, SA

Postcode 2880 and postcode 5731 are both large rural areas, but they differ deeply in population and housing. Postcode 2880 is much larger with 18,097 people, where 42.3% of homes are owned outright and 23.0% of residents are aged 65 or over. In contrast, postcode 5731 is sparsely populated with just 234 people, and is dominated by renters, who make up 66.1% of households. This difference extends to the home, where the typical monthly mortgage payment in postcode 5731 is $1,600, far higher than the $867 seen in postcode 2880.

Both areas share very similar levels of education, with about 29% of residents completing Year 12, and nearly identical rates of overseas arrivals. While they track together on these points, other gaps are shifting; the difference in people working from home has widened since 2011, and the gap in those in de facto relationships has also grown. Postcode 2880 remains more connected to services, with 94.9% of homes within a 10 minute walk of public transport, compared to none in postcode 5731.
