Postcode 2042 and postcode 2044 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct housing and living patterns. Postcode 2042 is more densely populated with a high proportion of renters (55.9%) and people living alone (35.5%), while postcode 2044 has far more separate houses (41.7% compared to 7.6%) and larger three-bedroom homes.
