2147, NSW 2762, NSW

Postcode 2147 and postcode 2762 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different profiles. Postcode 2762 is much more affluent and highly educated, with 46.1% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher and 41.3% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, postcode 2147 is more established and walkable; 29.0% of homes are owned outright, and 79.3% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed. Postcode 2147 also has a significantly older population, with 16.0% of residents aged 65 and over, compared to just 4.2% in postcode 2762.

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged sharply across several key measures. The gap in higher education and high incomes has widened, and the lead for overseas birth and non-English languages has flipped to postcode 2762. Despite these shifts, they still share some common ground, such as having almost identical proportions of people who speak little or no English (4.9%) and similar rates of unpaid housework.
