2127, NSW 2141, NSW

Postcode 2141 and postcode 2127 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and economic profiles. Postcode 2127 is a high-earning hub where the typical weekly personal income is $1,160, compared to $705 in postcode 2141. This wealthier profile in postcode 2127 is consistent with a much higher share of university graduates (54.4% versus 31.2%) and more people working from home (49.8% versus 29.5%). In contrast, postcode 2141 has more traditional family housing, with 44.5% of homes being separate houses and 56% having three or more bedrooms, while postcode 2127 is dominated by flats or apartments.

Both areas are very similar in other ways, such as their drive times to the city and the fact that almost every home is within a 15-minute walk of a park.
