2101, NSW 2104, NSW

Postcode 2101 and postcode 2104 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different street-level experiences. Postcode 2101 is very walkable, with 89.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 90% near a school. In contrast, postcode 2104 is mostly car-dependent, where only 5% of homes are within a short walk of groceries and 13.4% are near a school. Postcode 2104 is also much older, with a typical resident aged 58 and 40.6% of the population aged 65 and over, compared to 43 years and 22.4% in postcode 2101.

These age differences are becoming more pronounced, as the gap between the typical residents of the two areas has widened since 2011. Despite this, the two areas share several similarities, including nearly identical rates of Year 12 completion and a similar share of households earning $3,000 or more a week. Both areas also sit slightly above the national figure for overall advantage.
