2040, NSW 2041, NSW

Postcode 2040 and postcode 2041 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Postcode 2040 is younger and more diverse, with 18.6% of people using a language other than English at home. It also has far more separate houses (40.9%) and significantly more school enrolments. In contrast, postcode 2041 is older and wealthier; the typical family income is $4,602 per week, which is $985 higher than in postcode 2040. Residents there are more likely to have a university degree (56.9%) and work from home (61.1%).

Since 2011, the gap between the two has widened in several areas, including typical age and typical income. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in other ways, such as the share of people renting (around 39%) and the percentage of homes with three or more bedrooms (about 50%). Both areas sit far above the national figure for the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, reflecting a highly qualified workforce in both neighbourhoods.
