2103, NSW 2106, NSW

Postcode 2103 and postcode 2106 are neighbouring areas with similar populations, but they differ in how people get around and live. Postcode 2103 is much more connected, with far more public transport stops and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (90.7% compared to 78.4%) and groceries. It also has a notably older population, with 25.0% of residents aged 65 and over, well above the national figure. In contrast, postcode 2106 has a higher share of residents with a bachelor degree or higher (35.6% versus 29.7%) and more people earning $2,000 or more a week.

Both have a typical resident age of 46 and an identical average of 2.6 people per home. They also both sit well above the national figure for the share of adults who work from home.
