2043, NSW 2204, NSW

Postcode 2204 and postcode 2043 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Postcode 2043 is a high-earning hub where 62.4% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 42.9% in postcode 2204. It also has a much higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (37.5% versus 20.0%). In contrast, postcode 2204 is more diverse, with 33.1% of people using another language at home compared to 19.7% in postcode 2043. Housing also differs, as postcode 2204 has far more separate houses (32.0% versus 3.2%) and larger homes with three or more bedrooms.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions across key measures. The gap in language diversity has narrowed as postcode 2204 became more similar to postcode 2043, while the gap in high incomes and working-from-home rates has widened. Despite these trends, both places remain highly accessible, with every home within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a 15-minute walk to a park. They also share almost identical rates of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations at around 1.5%.
