2018, NSW 2032, NSW

Postcode 2018 and postcode 2032 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with high levels of cultural diversity. Postcode 2018 is more densely populated with flats and apartments, while postcode 2032 has more separate houses, with 34% compared to 24.7% in postcode 2018. There are also notable differences in employment and family life: full-time employment is well higher in postcode 2018 at 62.5%, and it also has a much higher share of people in de facto relationships at 16.4% compared to 10% in postcode 2032.

Both areas are very similar in their typical weekly family income, which sits around $2,400, and they share almost identical proportions of children under 15. This shared family profile exists alongside a growing gap in housing, as the difference in the number of three-bedroom homes has widened since 2011.
