2010, NSW 2017, NSW

Postcode 2017 and postcode 2010 are neighbouring high-density areas in Greater Sydney. Postcode 2017 is more culturally diverse, with 58.0% of residents born overseas and 44.0% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 2010 has a higher share of people living alone (48.8% compared to 36.7% in postcode 2017) and higher typical family incomes, with the usual weekly pay being $3,709 compared to $2,684 in postcode 2017. Postcode 2010 also has significantly more school enrolments and larger average school sizes.

Both areas are very similar in their high levels of education and job skills, and both sit near the national figure for the share of people who have served in the Defence Force. Since 2011, the gaps between them have often widened; the difference in typical resident age has grown to four years, and the gap in overseas birth rates has increased to 15.4 percentage points. They remain alike in their high rental rates and the fact that very few residents live in detached houses.
