2009, NSW 2050, NSW

Postcode 2009 and postcode 2050 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct cultural and social profiles. Postcode 2009 is far more diverse, with 52.1% of people born overseas and 39.9% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 2050 has a much higher share of people with no religion (59.6%) and a younger population, where the typical resident is 33 compared to 37 in postcode 2009. Postcode 2009 also has a higher proportion of seniors, with 13% aged 65 and over, which is 5.9 percentage points higher than in postcode 2050.

Daily life in both places is very similar, with nearly identical typical weekly personal incomes of around $1,290 and a similar reliance on renting. Both areas are almost equally likely to have homes with no car, at about 28%. While they share these economic traits, some gaps are widening; the difference in the share of overseas-born residents and those using another language at home has grown since 2011.
