2027, NSW 2029, NSW

Postcode 2029 and postcode 2027 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Postcode 2027 is a wealthier, older area where the typical resident is 46 and the usual weekly family income is $4,558. In contrast, postcode 2029 has a younger feel, with more children under 15 (16.3%) and a lower typical age of 40. Postcode 2029 also has better access to essential services, with 99.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and 100% within reach of groceries, compared to 81.2% and 87.4% in postcode 2027.

Daily life is very similar in both places, as they share nearly identical rates of people needing help with daily activities, those with a mental health condition, and the typical number of people per bedroom. However, some gaps are widening. The difference in typical family income has grown since 2011, and a larger share of residents in postcode 2027 now report having no religion. Meanwhile, the gap in the number of children under 15 has narrowed over the same period.
