2007, NSW 2017, NSW

Postcode 2017 and postcode 2007 are neighbouring inner-city areas with distinct profiles. Postcode 2017 is a more affluent hub where full-time employment is far higher (67.9% compared to 50.6% in postcode 2007) and the typical weekly personal income is well higher at $1,216, versus $772 in postcode 2007. In contrast, postcode 2007 is more linguistically diverse, with a far higher share of people using another language at home (58.0% compared to 44.0% in postcode 2017). Postcode 2007 also has a much larger school presence, with 1,976 enrolments and far more schools per child than postcode 2017.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for overall advantage. They are effectively alike in that every home is within a 15-minute walk of local amenities, and about 36% of people in each area live alone. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in typical weekly income has grown since 2011, and the gap in full-time employment has also increased.
