2036, NSW 2231, NSW

Postcode 2036 and postcode 2231 are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Postcode 2036 is a dense, very walkable hub where 46.8% of people live in flats or apartments and 38.1% were born overseas. In contrast, postcode 2231 is dominated by separate houses, which make up 95.2% of homes, and has a much smaller overseas-born population of 11.7%. Postcode 2036 also has far more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (29.3% compared to 12.2%) and a much higher share of renters at 41.9%.

The gap in home ownership has widened since 2011, with separate houses becoming far more common in postcode 2231. Despite this, the two areas share some similarities; they have nearly the same proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (around 4%) and similar typical weekly household incomes, both sitting just above $2,000. Both areas also have an overall advantage score close to the national average.
