2150, NSW 2161, NSW

Postcode 2150 and postcode 2161 are neighbouring areas with similar population sizes, but they differ sharply in housing and wealth. Postcode 2150 is a high-income hub where 85.5% of homes are flats or apartments, and the typical weekly personal income is far higher at $970. It is also more international, with 70.0% of people born overseas and a much higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (53.9%). In contrast, postcode 2161 is dominated by separate houses (60.6%) and has a much lower typical weekly income of $511.

Both areas share a very similar typical resident age of 32. This commonality exists alongside a widening gap in employment; 67.3% of adults in postcode 2150 are working or looking for work, compared to 40.0% in postcode 2161. While both areas have an extremely high share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, they have tracked differently since 2011. The gap in personal income and the number of people working from home have both grown significantly over the last decade.
