2105, NSW 2108, NSW

Postcode 2105 and postcode 2108 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney that both have older populations and high incomes. However, postcode 2108 has a far higher share of seniors, with 38.2% aged 65 and over compared to 25.2% in postcode 2105. Postcode 2105 is more internationally diverse, as 31.3% of people were born overseas, which is far higher than the 21.1% in postcode 2108. Another notable difference is that a far higher share of people in postcode 2105 report having no religion, at 54.3% compared to 41.2% in postcode 2108.

Since 2011, these two areas have drifted apart in several ways, though they remain similar in their typical weekly household incomes and high levels of university qualifications. The gap in the number of seniors has widened, while the difference in the share of people born overseas has also grown. In contrast, the gap between the two has narrowed for some measures, such as the number of people living alone and the percentage of detached houses.
