2018, NSW 2019, NSW

Postcode 2018 is more diverse and urban, where 51.1% of people were born overseas and 48.0% use a language other than English at home. It is a walker's paradise, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, postcode 2019 has a more family-oriented feel, with 18.9% of the population being children under 15 compared to 13.3% in postcode 2018. Homes in postcode 2019 are also larger, with 47.4% having three or more bedrooms, while only 34.9% of homes in postcode 2018 have that many rooms.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several measures.

Postcode 2019 has seen its lead in high incomes widen, with 35.7% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. Despite these shifting trends, both areas remain very similar in their overall advantage and the high skill levels of their workforces, with both sitting well above the national figure.
