2077, NSW 2126, NSW

Postcode 2077 and postcode 2126 are neighbouring areas with very different living styles. Postcode 2077 is a walker's paradise where 93.8% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed and 38.9% of households rent. In contrast, postcode 2126 is more car-dependent, with 81.5% of homes being separate houses and a much higher 39.5% owned outright. There is also a notable difference in wealth, as 46.4% of households in postcode 2126 earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 29.7% in postcode 2077.

The gap in high-income households has widened since 2011, as has the difference in home ownership and the share of large homes. Despite this, the two areas share several traits: they have almost identical typical weekly personal incomes of around $940, very similar proportions of children under 15, and nearly the same share of people who use another language at home. Both also have a highly skilled workforce and unemployment rates that are almost exactly the same.
