2074, NSW 2077, NSW

Postcode 2077 and postcode 2074 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct housing and social profiles. Postcode 2077 is a high-density hub where 55.9% of homes are flats or apartments and 38.9% of households rent. It is also far more diverse, with 50.5% of people born overseas and 47.8% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 2074 is dominated by larger, separate houses (72.0%) and higher wealth, with 47.5% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and 42.5% owning their homes outright.

These differences in housing and diversity have become more pronounced, as the gap in rental rates and the share of people born overseas have both widened since 2011. Despite this, the two areas share a similar professional profile; both have the highest possible score for education and job skills and very similar unemployment rates around 4%. They are also equidistant from the city, with a 26-minute drive time for both.
