2077, NSW 2079, NSW

Postcode 2077 and postcode 2079 are neighbouring areas with very different residential profiles. Postcode 2077 is a high-density hub where 55.9% of homes are flats or apartments, and it is a walker's paradise with 93.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a city-style walkshed. It is also much more diverse and transient; 50.5% of residents were born overseas, and 48.1% moved here in the last five years. In contrast, postcode 2079 is dominated by detached houses (83.9%) and larger family homes, with 82.5% having three or more bedrooms. While postcode 2077 is more walkable, postcode 2079 is wealthier, with a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more per week (39.2%).

Both areas sit near the national average for overall advantage, and they share very similar age profiles, with children under 15 making up about 19% of the population in each. While they feel different on the ground, the gaps in some areas are shifting; the difference in the number of people moving into the areas and the share of recent overseas arrivals has narrowed since 2011.
