2044, NSW 2049, NSW

Postcode 2049 and postcode 2044 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and family profiles. Postcode 2049 is a denser hub where 49.4% of households rent and 33.6% of people live alone. It is also very well served for families, with 5.04 schools per 1,000 children and 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. In contrast, postcode 2044 is more residential, with a far higher share of separate houses (41.7% compared to 24.6%) and larger homes, as 51.7% have three or more bedrooms.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people aged 65 and over, at around 11%. They share a similar typical weekly personal income of about $1,200 and an almost identical percentage of people who served in the Defence Force. While both are highly qualified and professional, the gap in their typical weekly rents has widened to $150, with postcode 2044 now being notably more expensive.
