2024, NSW 2035, NSW

Postcode 2035 and postcode 2024 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different economic profiles. Postcode 2024 is wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $3,197 compared to $2,151 in postcode 2035. It also has a more highly qualified workforce, as 51.4% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, while the figure is 39.3% in postcode 2035. In contrast, postcode 2035 is more linguistically diverse, with 34.6% of people using a language other than English at home, far higher than the 14.8% in postcode 2024.

These two areas are almost identical in the share of people living alone, which is about 27% for both. While they share similar housing trends, with roughly 40% of households renting, the gap in wealth and working habits has grown. Since 2011, the difference in typical household incomes has widened, and the gap in the number of people working from home has increased significantly, with 56.4% now doing so in postcode 2024 compared to 41.3% in postcode 2035.
