2022, NSW 2025, NSW

Postcode 2022 and postcode 2025 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct characters. Postcode 2022 is much younger and more diverse, with 46.0% of residents born overseas and 25.6% using a language other than English at home. It is also more transit-oriented, with far more public transport departures and 48.5% of homes rented. In contrast, postcode 2025 is older and wealthier, with a typical resident aged 42 and a typical weekly family income of $4,557. Residents here are more likely to own their homes outright, and the area has many more parks.

Both areas share similar levels of daily health needs, with about 3.3% to 3.5% of people needing help with daily activities, which is close to the national figure. They also have similar typical weekly rents of around $660 to $670. Over time, some gaps have grown; the difference in typical age has widened to six years, and the gap in overseas births has increased since 2011.
