2000, NSW 2008, NSW

Postcode 2000 and postcode 2008 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different profiles. Postcode 2000 is much more multicultural, with 70.4% of people born overseas and 60.4% using another language at home. It also has a much higher typical weekly household income of $2,225. In contrast, postcode 2008 is far more likely to have residents with no religion (58.5% compared to 38.5% in postcode 2000) and a higher share of people working from home at 50.1%.

Both areas share a very high level of education and job skills, and their typical monthly home-loan payments are similar at around $2,600 to $2,800. While they are both far younger than the national figure, the gap in typical age has widened since 2011, with postcode 2000 now noticeably older.
