2000, NSW 2011, NSW

Postcode 2000 and postcode 2011 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Postcode 2000 is far more multicultural, with 70.4% of people born overseas and 60.4% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 2011 has a much higher share of people living alone at 60.7% and higher typical weekly incomes of $1,534, compared with $941 in postcode 2000. Postcode 2011 also has a noticeably older population, with a typical age of 39 compared to 32 in postcode 2000.

Both areas are effectively identical in their overall advantage and access to money and resources. They also share a total lack of separate houses and provide every resident with a home within a 10-minute walk of public transport. Over time, some gaps have widened, such as the difference in the share of people working from home and the number of people who have moved in the last five years.
