2008, NSW 2009, NSW

Postcode 2009 and postcode 2008 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with high proportions of renters and overseas-born residents. Postcode 2009 is wealthier, with 40.0% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 23.8% in postcode 2008. Residents are also far older in postcode 2009, where the typical age is 37, while the typical resident in postcode 2008 is just 28. This age difference is reflected in the home lives of the two areas; postcode 2009 has far more children under 15 (10.3% versus 4.0%) and a higher share of people caring for children unpaid.

Both areas sit very close to the national figure for overall advantage, reflecting a shared high level of general amenity and education. They are also alike in their lack of detached houses and their four-minute drive time to the city. Over time, the two areas have grown more distinct. The gap in typical ages has widened from 3 to 9 years since 2011, and the difference in household incomes has remained significant even as it narrowed slightly.
