2047, NSW 2066, NSW

Postcode 2066 and postcode 2047 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different profiles. Postcode 2066 is a larger, younger hub with a higher share of children under 15 (19.2%) and a larger number of schools. It is more diverse, with 38.0% of people born overseas and 28.6% using another language at home. In contrast, postcode 2047 is older, with a typical resident aged 42 and a higher share of people aged 65 and over (19.4%). While postcode 2066 has far more public transport stops, postcode 2047 is more convenient for pedestrians, with nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (99.2%) and health services (99.1%).

These differences in age and background have become more pronounced, as the gaps in typical age, overseas birth, and language use have all widened since 2011. Despite this, the two areas are very similar in other ways. They share almost identical typical household incomes of around $2,760 a week and similar levels of university qualifications. Both areas also sit far above the national figure for adults with a bachelor degree or higher.
