2017, NSW 2043, NSW

Postcode 2017 and postcode 2043 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Postcode 2017 is far more diverse, with 58.0% of people born overseas and 44.0% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 2043 is wealthier and more academic; 62.4% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, and the typical weekly household income is $3,020, which is well higher than the $2,104 seen in postcode 2017. Housing also differs, as postcode 2017 has a far higher share of renters at 71.7% compared to 53.3% in postcode 2043.

The gap in overseas births has widened since 2011, but the two areas share many everyday similarities. Both are highly advantaged with identical scores for education and job skills. They are equally walkable, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of local amenities. This similarity extends to the typical monthly home-loan payment, which is around $2,600 to $2,800 in both places, and an almost identical number of people per bedroom.
