2048, NSW 2050, NSW

Postcode 2050 and postcode 2048 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct housing and population profiles. Postcode 2050 is more transient and urban, with a far higher share of renters (61.1%) and people living alone (41.8%). It is also more diverse, with a far higher share of recent overseas arrivals (22.7%). In contrast, postcode 2048 has a more established feel, with far more homes featuring three or more bedrooms (49.1%) and a higher proportion of children under 15 (13.0%).

Since 2011, the gaps in renting and the number of people living alone have both widened. However, the two areas remain very similar in other ways, including their typical weekly household income (around $2,300 to $2,400) and the high rate of people working from home (over 53%). Both areas also sit well above the national figure for people born overseas, and they share identical top scores for education and job skills.
