2127, NSW 2128, NSW

Postcode 2127 and postcode 2128 are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Postcode 2127 is a high-density, highly educated hub where 54.4% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 61.2% use a language other than English at home. It is described as a walker's paradise, with 85.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. In contrast, postcode 2128 has more detached houses, with 30.5% of homes being separate houses compared to just 7.5% in postcode 2127. Postcode 2128 also has a higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 8.7%, while postcode 2127 is far more likely to have residents earning $2,000 or more a week (19.5% versus 5.2%).

These differences have become more pronounced over time, particularly with the gap in overseas births widening to 19.3 percentage points. Despite this drift, the two areas share a similar age profile, with about 6% of residents aged 65 and over in both. They are also alike in their daily commutes, with nearly everyone in both areas living within a 10-minute walk of public transport and both sitting about 15 to 16 minutes from the city.
