2045, NSW 2131, NSW

Postcode 2131 and postcode 2045 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different characters. Postcode 2131 is younger, with a typical resident aged 36, and is far more diverse, with 50.8% of people born overseas and 49.4% using another language at home. In contrast, postcode 2045 is far older, with a typical age of 46, and is wealthier, with 45.1% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. Housing also differs sharply; postcode 2131 is dominated by rentals (50.5%) and apartments, while nearly half of homes in postcode 2045 are owned outright.

Everyday life in both places shares several features, including very similar rates of full-time employment and a total lack of residents who live more than 15 minutes from a park, school, or public transport stop. However, many gaps between them have widened since 2011. The difference in home ownership and the gap in typical weekly incomes have both grown, as have the differences in housing types and the number of people living alone in postcode 2131.
