2007, NSW 2009, NSW

Postcode 2009 and postcode 2007 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney that differ sharply in wealth and demographics. Postcode 2009 is the wealthier of the two, with a typical weekly personal income of $1,297 and 40% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, postcode 2007 is more diverse and younger, with a typical resident aged 30 compared to 37 in postcode 2009. This area also has a much higher share of people born overseas (66.2%) and far more people using a language other than English at home (58%).

Both areas share a very high level of education and job skills. They also have nearly identical numbers of people per home and very similar shares of people in de facto relationships. While they both attract many international residents, the gap in the proportion of people born overseas has widened since 2011. At the same time, the gap in typical household income has narrowed, though postcode 2009 remains well higher.
