2086, NSW 2096, NSW

Postcode 2096 and postcode 2086 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and lifestyles. Postcode 2096 is more densely built, with 55.3% of homes being flats or apartments and a higher rental rate of 37.0%. It is also more walkable, with almost all homes within a 15-minute walk of schools and groceries. In contrast, postcode 2086 is dominated by separate houses (92.5%) and larger family homes, with 93.1% having three or more bedrooms. This area also has a higher share of children under 15 (22.1%) and a typical resident age of 40, compared to 37 in postcode 2096.

Since 2011, the two areas have moved in different directions across several key measures. The gap in the number of people living in de facto relationships and those with no religion has widened. However, the difference in the share of renters, people living alone, and those who own their homes outright has narrowed. Despite these shifts, they remain similar in other ways, such as having nearly identical shares of volunteers and people who served in the Defence Force.
