2071, NSW 2086, NSW

Postcode 2086 and postcode 2071 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with similar populations, but they differ sharply in housing and diversity. Postcode 2086 is dominated by detached houses, with 92.5% being separate homes, and it is more walkable for health services and groceries. In contrast, postcode 2071 is far more diverse; 48.4% of its people were born overseas and 43.6% use a language other than English at home, which is far higher than the figures in postcode 2086. Postcode 2071 also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 54.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 37.4% in postcode 2086.

These two areas are very similar in their typical weekly personal and family incomes, as well as their travel times to the city. They both also see a high number of people working from home, though this gap has widened since 2011. While they share these economic traits, the social makeup is diverging; the gap in the share of people born overseas and those using other languages at home has grown over the last decade.
