2000, NSW 2016, NSW

Postcode 2000 and postcode 2016 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Postcode 2000 is far more diverse, with 70.4% of people born overseas and 60.4% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 2016 has a higher proportion of people who identify with no religion (54.9% compared to 38.5% in postcode 2000) and a higher share of people with long-term health conditions (26.7% versus 11.1%). Postcode 2000 also has much larger schools and more public transport options per person.

The gap in the number of people born overseas has widened since 2011, with the difference growing to 30.1 percentage points. Despite this, the two areas are very similar in other ways. Residents in both areas have a similar typical weekly income, and nearly half of adults in both postcodes hold a bachelor degree or higher. Every home in both areas is within a 10 minute walk of public transport, and they share an almost identical level of overall advantage.
