2031, NSW 2032, NSW

Postcode 2031 and postcode 2032 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different profiles. Postcode 2031 is a high-earning hub where the typical weekly personal income is $1,373 and 41.1% of homes earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, postcode 2032 has a more diverse linguistic profile, with 42.6% of people using another language at home compared to 19.5% in postcode 2031. Housing also differs; postcode 2032 has far more separate houses (34.0%) and larger homes, while postcode 2031 is dominated by flats and apartments.

The gap in typical incomes has widened since 2011, but the two areas share several other traits. Both have similar proportions of people living alone and almost identical home-loan payments. They also share a high level of education, as both have a much higher share of adults with a university degree than the national figure. While postcode 2031 has many more schools, both areas are very walkable, with residents spending only a few minutes walking to the nearest transport stop.
