2045, NSW 2049, NSW

Postcode 2049 and postcode 2045 are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Postcode 2049 is a younger area where the typical resident is 35, with a high proportion of people living alone (33.6%) and nearly half (49.4%) renting their homes. In contrast, postcode 2045 is far older, with a typical age of 46 and a much higher share of seniors (22.2%). Housing also differs sharply; postcode 2045 is dominated by separate houses (79.7%) and homes owned outright (49.6%), while postcode 2049 has far more flats or apartments.

Both areas sit on a very similar level of overall advantage, with their scores almost identical. They also share similar unemployment rates and a high level of education and job skills. While these commonalities exist, other gaps have grown since 2011. The difference in typical age has widened to 11 years, and the gap in home ownership and renting has also increased.
