2021, NSW 2027, NSW

Postcode 2021 and postcode 2027 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different demographics. Postcode 2027 is far older, with a typical resident aged 46 and 28.1% of people aged 65 or over, compared to a typical age of 37 and 14.9% of seniors in postcode 2021. Postcode 2021 is more likely to be a place for renters, with 46.4% of homes rented, while 38.8% of homes in postcode 2027 are owned outright. There are also sharp contrasts in connectivity; postcode 2021 has far more public transport stops (62 versus 31) and a higher share of people who do not own a car.

These two areas are very similar when it comes to money and household size. Both have a typical weekly household income around $3,000 and about two people per home.
