2069, NSW 2087, NSW

Postcode 2069 and postcode 2087 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with similar population sizes. Postcode 2069 is more highly qualified, with 54.9% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 40.5% in postcode 2087. It is also more diverse, with a higher share of people born overseas (37.7% versus 33.1%) and those using another language at home (29.9% versus 25.2%). In contrast, postcode 2087 has a higher proportion of separate houses (85.3% compared to 75.6%) and more schools within 3 km (6 versus 3).

These two areas share many everyday realities, with nearly identical rates of home ownership, similar family structures, and almost the same share of people who do not follow a religion. While both are well above the national figure for typical incomes, the gap in high earners has narrowed since 2011. Other differences are shifting; for instance, the gap in the share of people born overseas has widened, while the difference in Year 12 completion has decreased over the last decade.
