2072, NSW 2076, NSW

Postcode 2076 and postcode 2072 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct housing and social profiles. Postcode 2076 is dominated by detached houses, with 77% of homes being separate dwellings and 84.9% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 2072 has a much higher share of renters at 35.3% and far more flats or apartments. Postcode 2072 is also more culturally diverse, with 53.1% of people born overseas and 48.8% using a language other than English at home, compared to 38% and 28.9% in postcode 2076.

Everyday life in both places shares a high level of advantage, with nearly identical typical weekly incomes and high education and job skill scores. Both areas are well above the national figure for adults with a bachelor degree or higher. While they share these similarities, they are drifting apart in other ways. The gap in the number of people born overseas and the share of renters has widened since 2011, and residents in postcode 2076 have become noticeably older than those in postcode 2072.
