Postcode comparison ≈ 2.7 km apart · 2000, NSW profile · 2027, NSW profile

2000, NSW 2027, NSW

Postcode 2000 and postcode 2027 are neighbouring inner-city areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2000 is a young, highly mobile hub where 70.4% of people were born overseas and 60.4% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 2027 is far older, with a typical resident aged 46 and 28.1% of the population aged 65 or over. This older demographic is matched by higher wealth; the typical weekly family income in postcode 2027 is $4,558, which is far higher than the $2,367 typical for postcode 2000.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. The difference in typical family income has grown to $2,191, and the share of people born overseas is now 35 points higher in postcode 2000. Despite these diverging trends, they share a high level of overall advantage and an equally skilled workforce. Both areas are exceptionally convenient, with virtually every home within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a 15-minute walk to a park.
