2011, NSW 2016, NSW

Postcode 2011 and postcode 2016 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with a few striking differences. Postcode 2011 is more geared towards single living, with 60.7% of people living alone, while postcode 2016 has more families, with a well higher share of children under 15 (8.2% compared to 4.2%). This is reflected in the housing, as postcode 2016 has far more homes with three or more bedrooms. Postcode 2011 also has a higher typical weekly personal income of $1,534, compared to $1,191 in postcode 2016.

Since 2011, the two areas have grown apart in several ways, with the gap widening for the typical age of residents and the share of people living alone. Despite these shifts, they share many everyday realities, such as a very short one-minute walk to the nearest public transport stop and a similar six-minute drive to the city. Both areas also have typical weekly rents that are nearly identical, sitting at around $500.
