Have you ever wondered where Sydney’s richest people live?
Recent data from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has revealed Sydney’s highest-earning postcodes where average individual incomes easily fetch three zeros, the houses are bigger and the suburbs are more elite.
In fact, the data highlights the stark divide between the richest and poorest Sydneysiders with workers in the city’s richest postcodes earning more than 10 times the salary of our lowest-income earners (who have an average income as low as $10,000-20,000 per year).
The difference in salary between the richest (2028) and poorest (2387) postcodes in NSW two is a shocking $201,696 per year.
Here are the 7 postcodes that Sydney’s richest call home.
1. Double Bay (2028)
Average income: $202,598
Number of individuals: 3,572
The ritzy and exclusive harbourside suburb, full of upscale boutiques, popular cafes and took the crown not only as the richest postcode in Sydney but also the whole of Australia.
Double Bay, which is also appropriately nicknamed ‘Double Pay’ has sweeping views across the water to Darling Point and Sydney Harbour Bridge and is home to some of Australia’s most affluent people.
2. Darling Point, Edgecliff, Rushcutters Bay, Point Piper (2027)
Average income: $198,813
Number of individuals: 6,052
With Point Piper’s Wolseley Road highly regarded as one of the most expensive streets in Sydney, where 100% of properties sell for over $1 million (and the record so far this year was a $40 million property sale), it’s unsurprising the 2027 postcode places second on Sydney’s rich list.
The area, which comprises Darling Point, Edgecliff, Rushcutters Bay and Point Piper, is another harbourside postcode where only the rich can afford to live.
3. Vaucluse, Dover Heights (2030)
Average income: $197,886
Number of individuals: 9,870
Dover Heights is an affluent neighbourhood that hugs the top of the cliffs overlooking the Tasman Sea, meanwhile, Vaucluse is known for being an incredibly affluent area with peninsular and harbour views unlike any other.
The entire suburb is home to some of Sydney’s highest property prices and largest pay packets.
4. Woollahra (2025)
Average income: $183,418
Number of individuals: 5,252
The affluent suburb of Woollahra houses no shortage of lawyers, bankers, doctors and management consultants, all of whom earn more than double the average Australian wage.
The suburb also has some of the world’s elite streets and expensive houses to boot.
5. Bellevue Hill (2023)
Average income: $173,278
Number of Individuals: 7,404
Bellevue Hill has consistently come up on top as one of Sydney’s richest postcodes, landing itself in the top five for highest income earners for the past eight consecutive years.
The postcode is yet another prestigious harbourside neighbourhood that is full of sprawling estate homes and expensive cars.
6. Mosman, Spit Junction (2088)
Average income: $171,135
Number of Individuals: 20,304
With historical buildings, breathtaking views and plenty of amenities, it’s not hard to see why wealthy Sydneysiders are flocking to Mosman and Spit Junction.
The area has a huge variety of property – from grand period homes to newly-designed luxury townhouses – with a median price of $4.9 million, according to Realestate.com data.
With the coastline on three sides, the water views are plentiful, the lifestyle is luxurious and locals’ pockets are appropriately deep.
7. Northbridge (2063)
Average income: $168,891
Number of Individuals: 4,395
The median property prices for Northbridge in the lower north shore sat at $4.65 million for houses to $1.36 million for units in the past year.
And it’s attracting Australians with the paypacket to match.
Why?
Because it’s safe, quiet and has lots of amenities. Not only is the area a short distance to the city for professionals, the schools are mostly private and also expensive.
So for those who want a great place to live and raise a family, and have the money to throw at one of the extravagant houses, Northbridge looks like a great choice.
The rest of the best
