2088, NSW 2092, NSW

Postcode 2088 and postcode 2092 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and household styles. Postcode 2092 is a wealthier area where 56.6% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, and 91.1% of homes have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 2088 has more small households, with 31.7% of people living alone, and only 52.7% of homes having three or more bedrooms. Renting is far more common in postcode 2088, where 33.1% of households rent, compared to just 16.2% in postcode 2092.

These two areas have grown apart since 2011, with gaps widening in typical incomes, household wealth, and the number of people living alone. Despite these shifting trends, they share some core characteristics, such as similar unemployment rates (3.6% in postcode 2088 and 3.2% in postcode 2092) and nearly identical levels of volunteering. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for adults with a bachelor degree or higher, though this gap has narrowed slightly over the last decade.
