2065, NSW 2089, NSW

Postcode 2065 and postcode 2089 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Postcode 2065 is more diverse and highly educated, with 42.7% of people born overseas and 61.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. It also has more school options, with five schools within 3 km compared to just one in postcode 2089. In contrast, postcode 2089 has a higher share of people living alone (39.5%) and larger typical schools, averaging 641 students.

Daily life is very similar in both places, as they share almost identical typical weekly family incomes and personal earnings.

Both areas are far above the national figure for high-income households, with over 40% earning $3,000 or more a week.
