Postcode 2000 is a global hub where 70.4% of people were born overseas and 60.4% use another language at home. It is a highly connected area with 56.6% of homes having no motor vehicle and a huge number of public transport options. In contrast, postcode 2009 is wealthier and slightly older; its typical weekly personal income is $1,297 compared to $941 in postcode 2000.
