2072, NSW 2075, NSW

Postcode 2075 and postcode 2072 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and demographic profiles. Postcode 2075 is more family-oriented, with a typical resident aged 43 and a higher share of children under 15 (21.0%). It has far more separate houses (70.2%) and larger homes, with 81.5% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 2072 is more transient and dense; half of its residents moved there in the last five years, and renting is far more common at 35.3%. Postcode 2072 also has a much higher share of people using another language at home, at 48.8% compared to 33.4% in postcode 2075.

The gap in rental rates has widened since 2011, but the two areas share many other similarities. Both are highly advantaged with the same top score for education and job skills. They also have almost identical typical weekly personal incomes of around $1,070 and the same rate of volunteering at 18.7%.
