2077, NSW 2082, NSW

Postcode 2077 is a highly diverse and urban hub, where 50.5% of people were born overseas and 47.8% use a language other than English at home. It is a walker's paradise with a high share of apartments and a very high rental rate of 38.9%. In contrast, postcode 2082 is dominated by separate houses, with 94.3% of homes being detached and 41.5% owned outright. It is far more suburban, with most homes having three or more bedrooms and a walkability score described as somewhat walkable.
