2065, NSW 2068, NSW

Postcode 2065 and postcode 2068 are neighbouring areas with very different housing styles. Postcode 2065 is dominated by flats and apartments, with 49.8% of homes rented and 33.8% of people living alone. In contrast, postcode 2068 is mostly separate houses, where 39% are owned outright and 72% of homes have three or more bedrooms. This difference extends to the residents; postcode 2065 has a younger population and a higher share of adults with bachelor degrees (61.8%) compared to postcode 2068 (50.5%).

Many of these gaps have widened since 2011, particularly the difference in renting and the number of people living alone. Despite these shifts, both areas remain very high-advantage places with similar unemployment rates and a shared focus on high-quality education and job skills. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for typical weekly incomes, and they are equally accessible for those without a car, with only a two-minute walk to the nearest transport stop.
