2070, NSW 2071, NSW

Postcode 2070 and postcode 2071 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with similar population sizes. Postcode 2070 is more connected, with far more public transport routes and a higher number of schools within 3km. It is also more convenient for residents, as 89.4% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to 64.8% in postcode 2071. In contrast, postcode 2071 has much larger schools, with an average size of 795 compared to 334 in postcode 2070, and a higher share of people born overseas (48.4% versus 42.7%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of homes with three or more bedrooms, though this gap has widened since 2011. They share many other traits, including almost identical rates of people with long-term health conditions and a similar number of people aged 65 and over. While both are very walkable, postcode 2070 remains well higher in its walkability score. Other differences, such as the share of people using a language other than English at home, have remained little changed over the last decade.
