Australian postcode 2440 covers a very large and diverse area of the NSW Mid North Coast, centred on Kempsey but extending from rural inland communities to attractive coastal settlements including Crescent Head and Hat Head; Australia Post lists around 50 localities within the postcode. The area had about 23,200 residents at the 2021 Census, with a relatively high median age of 45, reflecting its appeal to retirees as well as families and people seeking a quieter regional lifestyle. Living in 2440 can therefore mean quite different things: Kempsey provides the main regional shopping, healthcare and community services, while the coastal communities offer beaches, surfing, fishing and a more relaxed coastal lifestyle, and the extensive rural hinterland provides acreage and bush living. The major advantages are natural environment, relatively low-density living, access to beaches and the Pacific Highway, and a generally slower pace of life; the trade-offs are fewer employment opportunities and specialist services than in larger centres, and a car is important for most residents. For someone considering postcode data in the context of SENA, 2440 is a particularly interesting example of a postcode that combines a regional service hub, coastal communities and remote/rural populations within one distributed geographic area.
