2009, NSW 2038, NSW

Postcode 2009 and postcode 2038 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different living patterns. Postcode 2009 is far more multicultural, with 52.1% of people born overseas and 39.9% using a language other than English at home. It is dominated by rentals (61.7%) and apartments, which helps explain why 28.8% of homes have no car. In contrast, postcode 2038 has more family-sized housing, with 48.1% of homes having three or more bedrooms and 22.8% being separate houses. Typical weekly family incomes are also higher in postcode 2038, where the usual amount is $3,905 compared to $3,035 in postcode 2009.

Both areas share an exceptionally high standard of amenity, with 100% of homes located within a 15-minute walk of a park and public transport. They also both have a very well-qualified workforce, with over half of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. While they are similarly advantaged, the gaps in their housing and demographics have generally widened since 2011, particularly regarding the share of renters and the number of people born overseas.
