2071, NSW 2087, NSW

Postcode 2071 and postcode 2087 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with similar population sizes. Postcode 2071 is far more diverse, with 48.4% of people born overseas and 43.6% using a language other than English at home. It also has a higher share of university-qualified adults (54.7%) and larger schools. In contrast, postcode 2087 is more residential, with a much higher share of separate houses (85.3%) and better access to essentials, as 91.8% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries.

The gap in housing types has widened since 2011, as postcode 2087 has become even more dominated by detached homes. Despite these shifting patterns, the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They share nearly identical typical weekly household incomes, around $2,800, and a similar proportion of residents aged 65 and over. Both areas also see a high number of people working from home, well above the national figure.
