2007, NSW 2050, NSW

Postcode 2050 and postcode 2007 are neighbouring city areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2007 is far more multicultural, with 66.2% of people born overseas and 58.0% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 2050 has a higher share of high earners, with 37.0% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and a typical weekly personal income of $1,291, which is far higher than the $772 seen in postcode 2007.

Both areas are highly walkable, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, schools, groceries, and public transport. While they share these local amenities, other gaps are shifting; the difference in the share of people born overseas has widened since 2011, and more people in postcode 2050 now work from home compared to postcode 2007.
