2048, NSW 2049, NSW

Postcode 2049 and postcode 2048 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney. Postcode 2049 is more oriented toward renters and smaller homes, with 49.4% of households renting and 33.6% of people living alone. It also has more public transport options, with 40 stops compared to 15 in postcode 2048, and a higher number of schools within 3 km. Postcode 2048 has a higher share of larger homes, with 49.1% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms, and a higher proportion of households earning $3,000 or more a week (40.0%).

Since 2011, several gaps between the two have widened. The difference in the share of three-bedroom homes and the number of households in the highest income bracket have both grown. Despite these shifts, the areas share many similarities, such as a nearly identical share of children under 15 and people aged 65 and over. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for renting, with typical weekly household incomes remaining closely aligned at around $2,300.
