2085, NSW 2099, NSW

Postcode 2099 and postcode 2085 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different characters. Postcode 2099 is a walker's paradise with a younger population and a high share of renters (37.2%). It is more diverse, with 25.8% of people using another language at home and a higher number of recent overseas arrivals (17.9%). In contrast, postcode 2085 is much older and more residential, where 83.8% of homes are separate houses and 43.9% are owned outright. Residents there also earn more, with 44.0% of households bringing in $3,000 or more a week.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have grown across several measures. The difference in typical age has widened to 8 years, and the gap in the number of people using another language at home has increased. Despite these trends, they share a similar level of education, with about 33% of adults in both areas holding a bachelor degree or higher. They also both provide excellent access to parks and public transport, with almost every home sitting within a short walk of both.
