Postcode comparison ≈ 2.8 km apart · 2061, NSW profile · 2062, NSW profile

2061, NSW 2062, NSW

Postcode 2062 and postcode 2061 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct demographic profiles. Postcode 2062 is much more family-oriented, with 18.5% of residents being children under 15 and 29.4% of people providing unpaid childcare—figures far higher than in postcode 2061, where children make up only 6.3%. This contrast is reflected in the housing, as postcode 2062 has far more separate houses (24.9%) and three-bedroom homes (43.6%) compared to the small share of houses (3.3%) and three-bedroom homes (25.4%) in postcode 2061.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of children under 15, though postcode 2061 is far below it. They are very similar in other ways, including typical weekly personal incomes and the high proportion of adults with bachelor degrees. However, some gaps have widened since 2011, such as the difference in the number of people living alone, which is now far higher in postcode 2061 at 46.4%.
