2008, NSW 2010, NSW

Postcode 2010 and postcode 2008 are neighbouring inner-city areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2010 is a wealthier hub where the typical weekly personal income is $1,479, far higher than the $860 seen in postcode 2008. It also has a much larger school presence, with an average school size of 718 students compared to just 147 in postcode 2008. In contrast, postcode 2008 is much younger and more diverse; 56.7% of its residents were born overseas and 47% use a language other than English at home, both figures far higher than the 42.7% and 23.6% found in postcode 2010.

These gaps in income and diversity have widened since 2011, as the typical age gap grew from five to eight years. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas share a similar urban lifestyle. Both are very walkable and have the same typical weekly rent of around $525 to $550. They also share a high level of overall advantage and similar proportions of people who volunteer or live in small apartments.
