2007, NSW 2010, NSW

Postcode 2010 and postcode 2007 are neighbouring inner-city areas, but they differ sharply in wealth and diversity. Postcode 2010 is more affluent, with a typical weekly family income of $3,709 compared to $2,197 in postcode 2007. It also has a higher proportion of high earners, with 31.7% of people making $2,000 or more a week, while only 13.1% do so in postcode 2007. In contrast, postcode 2007 is far more multicultural; 66.2% of its residents were born overseas and 58.0% use a language other than English at home, compared to 42.7% and 23.6% respectively in postcode 2010.

Both areas are very similar in their high levels of education and job skills. They also share similar housing types, with almost no detached houses and very few homes with a motor vehicle. However, the gap in typical incomes and the share of people working from home have both widened since 2011. While both areas have a high proportion of residents born overseas compared to the national figure, this trend is more pronounced in postcode 2007.
