2008, NSW 2037, NSW

Postcode 2037 and postcode 2008 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different profiles. Postcode 2037 is older and wealthier, with a typical weekly family income of $3,183 compared to $2,453 in postcode 2008. It is also more established for families, with 10.6% of people under 15 and a far higher number of schools. In contrast, postcode 2008 is much younger, with a typical resident aged just 28, and is far more diverse; 56.7% of its people were born overseas and 47% use a language other than English at home.

They also have similar proportions of adults with a university degree and nearly the same typical weekly rent. However, some gaps are widening. Since 2011, the difference in typical personal income has grown to $303, and the gap in the number of people born overseas has increased to 19 percentage points.
