2010, NSW 2028, NSW

Postcode 2010 and postcode 2028 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different profiles. Postcode 2010 is a densely populated hub where 64% of households rent and 48.8% of people live alone. In contrast, postcode 2028 is more residential, with a far higher share of outright home ownership (33.8% compared to 15% in postcode 2010) and more families, as seen by the 20.7% of people who provide unpaid childcare. Postcode 2010 is also much more secular, with 56.2% of residents reporting no religion, while 38% say the same in postcode 2028.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the typical age of residents, with postcode 2010 at 36 and postcode 2028 at 39. They share a high level of overall advantage and excellent access to public transport, with every home in both areas within a 10-minute walk of a stop. While they remain similar in these respects, some gaps are widening; for instance, the difference in the share of households earning over $3,000 a week has grown since 2011, with postcode 2028 now well higher at 47.7%.
