2010, NSW 2016, NSW

Postcode 2010 and postcode 2016 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different educational and economic profiles. Postcode 2010 is a larger hub with far more school enrolments (5,025 compared to 95) and an average school size of 718, which is much higher than the 48 seen in postcode 2016. It is also more affluent, with 38.0% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 34.4% in postcode 2016, and a higher share of adults holding a bachelor degree or more (55.4% versus 49.1%).

These two areas share a very similar typical resident age of 36 and almost identical typical weekly household incomes. They also both have a high number of people living alone and a very low percentage of detached houses. While some gaps are closing—such as the difference in the share of people with university degrees and those in de facto relationships—the gap in people living alone has widened since 2011.
