2019, NSW 2231, NSW

Postcode 2231 and postcode 2019 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and social profiles. Postcode 2231 is dominated by separate houses (95.2%) and larger homes, with 84.5% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 2019 is much more compact, where 51.7% of people live in flats or apartments and 38.2% rent. There is also a notable gap in education and diversity; 30.5% of adults in postcode 2019 hold a bachelor degree or higher compared to 12.2% in postcode 2231, and 33.1% of its residents were born overseas compared to 11.7% in postcode 2231.

Both areas share a similar overall advantage score, which sits near the national average. They are also alike in their typical weekly rent of $550 and similar unemployment rates. While they share these commonalities, many of the gaps between them have grown since 2011. The difference in the share of overseas-born residents has widened, and the gap in home ownership and education levels has also increased over time.
