2074, NSW 2083, NSW

Postcode 2074 and postcode 2083 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different characters. Postcode 2074 is a larger, very walkable area where 51.3% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 37.3% of people were born overseas. In contrast, postcode 2083 is more car-dependent and sparsely populated, with a much higher share of separate houses (92.3% compared to 72.0% in postcode 2074). Postcode 2074 also has a far higher proportion of high-income households, with 47.5% earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 29.3% in postcode 2083.

Both areas are very similar in their unemployment rates and the proportion of adults working or looking for work. They also share a similar share of people providing unpaid care. While they have much in common in these areas, other gaps are changing; for example, the difference in the number of people born overseas and those using another language at home has widened since 2011.
