2073, NSW 2074, NSW

Postcode 2074 and postcode 2073 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with high shares of university degrees and weekly household incomes. Postcode 2073 is more walkable, with 87.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and more street connectivity. It also has a larger share of people born overseas (40.6%) and those using another language at home (32.8%) than postcode 2074. In contrast, postcode 2074 is older, with a typical resident aged 44 and a much higher share of seniors at 22.8%.

Many of these gaps have remained stable since 2011, though some are shifting. The difference in the number of people born overseas and those using other languages at home has widened over the last decade. At the same time, the gap in Year 12 completion has narrowed. Both areas are very similar in other ways, such as the 0.2% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population and the roughly 40% of residents who have no religion.
