2022, NSW 2029, NSW

Postcode 2022 and postcode 2029 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Postcode 2022 is more transient and diverse, with 27.6% of residents arriving from overseas recently and a far higher share of people with no religion (41.7% compared to 28.8%). It is also much more reliant on public transport, with far more weekly departures per 1,000 people and a higher share of homes with no motor vehicle (25.4% versus 12.0%). In contrast, postcode 2029 has a more established feel, with residents noticeably older and a higher proportion of seniors aged 65 and over (20.3% compared to 15.2%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for people who speak little or no English. They also share very similar typical incomes and rent prices. While they are alike in these respects, several gaps have widened since 2011, including the difference in the typical age of residents and the share of people born overseas. Postcode 2022 has become increasingly distinct in its high rate of recent arrivals and its higher proportion of renters.
