2017, NSW 2032, NSW

Postcode 2017 and postcode 2032 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different characters. Postcode 2017 is a high-density hub where 91.7% of homes are flats or apartments and the typical weekly personal income is well higher at $1,216. It has a much younger, more transient feel, with 68.0% of people moving in within the last five years and a far higher share of people in de facto relationships (27.0%). In contrast, postcode 2032 is more suburban, with 34.0% of residents living in separate houses and a typical weekly income of $793.

Since 2011, these two areas have moved further apart in several key ways. The gap in typical income has widened, and postcode 2017 has seen its lead in overseas births and the share of people with no religion grow. However, they remain similar in other areas, such as their unemployment rates and the number of schools within 3km. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for the share of people born overseas.
