2061, NSW 2089, NSW

Postcode 2089 and postcode 2061 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Postcode 2061 is an older area where residents are noticeably older, with a typical age of 44 compared to 38 in postcode 2089. It has a much higher share of people aged 65 and over (23.4% vs 16.3%) and far more homes with no motor vehicle (30.1% vs 16.4%).
