2038, NSW 2042, NSW

Postcode 2042 and postcode 2038 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct housing and social profiles. Postcode 2042 is a more transient, renter-heavy area where 55.9% of households rent and 56.6% of people moved in within the last five years. It has a younger typical age of 34 and a much higher share of people with no religion (65.5%). In contrast, postcode 2038 has more families and larger homes, with 48.1% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms and a higher share of children under 15 (16.0%).

These differences in tenure and age are becoming more pronounced, as the gap in renting and the share of people with no religion have both widened since 2011. Despite these trends, the two areas share a very similar professional profile, with about 54% of adults in both holding a bachelor degree or higher. They also have nearly identical typical weekly rents, sitting around $540 to $570, which is well above the national figure.
