2039, NSW 2041, NSW

Postcode 2041 and postcode 2039 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with similar profiles but distinct differences in infrastructure and demographics. Postcode 2041 is slightly older and more settled, with 17.6% of people aged 65 and over and a higher share of homes owned outright at 31.7%. In contrast, postcode 2039 has a younger feel and is more connected to transport, featuring 12 public transport routes and far more weekly departures per 1,000 people than its neighbour.

Most trends between the two have remained stable since 2011, though the gap in volunteering has widened, with 20.4% of people in postcode 2041 now volunteering compared to 15.4% in postcode 2039. The areas are very much alike in other ways, sharing nearly identical proportions of overseas-born residents (around 30%) and children under 15 (about 17%). Both areas also sit well above the national figure for adults working or looking for work.
