2011, NSW 2061, NSW

Postcode 2011 and postcode 2061 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Postcode 2011 is more likely to be a single-person household, with 60.7% of people living alone, and it has a much higher share of homes with no motor vehicle at 49.8%. In contrast, postcode 2061 has a noticeably older population, with a typical age of 44 and 23.4% of residents aged 65 and over. Wealth is also more concentrated in postcode 2061, where 43.3% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 32.0% in postcode 2011.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people aged 65 and over, though postcode 2061 is well above it. They share many strengths, including a high level of education and job skills. While they are both very walkable and have high overall advantage, some gaps are widening. The difference in the proportion of people with no religion has grown, and the gap in high-income households has increased since 2011.
