2008, NSW 2042, NSW

Postcode 2042 and postcode 2008 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different profiles. Postcode 2008 is far more international, with 56.7% of people born overseas and 47% using a language other than English at home, compared to 30.4% and 17.4% in postcode 2042. Postcode 2042 has a larger share of high earners, with 37.5% of households making $3,000 or more a week, compared to 23.8% in postcode 2008. Postcode 2042 also has a larger presence of families, with a higher share of children under 15 and more three-bedroom homes.

Both areas are highly advantaged and share many traits, including nearly identical typical weekly rents and a very high share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. Every home in both postcodes is within a 10-minute walk of public transport. Over time, the gaps between them have grown, particularly regarding the number of people born overseas and the share of households renting, which is far higher in postcode 2008.
