2022, NSW 2031, NSW

Postcode 2031 and postcode 2022 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct differences in their services and makeup. Postcode 2031 has a much larger school network, with 14 schools within 3km and far more schools per 1,000 children (2.67) compared to postcode 2022 (1.03). Residents in postcode 2022 are more likely to have been born overseas (46.0%) or use another language at home (25.6%), and they are well more likely to live without a motor vehicle, at 25.4%.

These two areas share a great deal in common, including a typical resident age of 36 and very similar typical household incomes of around $2,500 a week. While they are alike in these ways, some gaps are widening; for example, the difference in the share of people born overseas and those using another language at home has grown since 2011. Both areas are well above the national figure for people born overseas, though this is most pronounced in postcode 2022.
