2116, NSW 2127, NSW

Postcode 2127 and postcode 2116 are neighbouring areas with very different housing and social profiles. Postcode 2127 is a high-density area where 88.5% of homes are flats or apartments and 55.9% of households rent. It is highly diverse, with 59.2% of people born overseas and 61.2% using another language at home. In contrast, postcode 2116 is more residential, with 53.1% of homes being separate houses and 70.1% having three or more bedrooms. It has a smaller proportion of overseas-born residents at 42.3% and is generally older, with a typical resident aged 37 compared to 33 in postcode 2127.

Daily life in both places shares many practical similarities, as both have 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park and roughly the same number of public transport stops. However, the gaps between them are widening in several areas. Postcode 2127 has seen its share of bachelor degrees grow to 54.4%, which is far higher than the 32.5% in postcode 2116. This gap in qualifications, alongside a growing difference in the number of people working from home, shows two neighbourhoods moving in different directions.
