2044, NSW 2216, NSW

Postcode 2216 and postcode 2044 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different profiles. Postcode 2216 is much more culturally diverse, with 52.6% of people born overseas and 57.6% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 2044 is wealthier and more academic, where a typical household earns $2,619 a week compared to $1,792 in postcode 2216, and 44.8% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. Postcode 2044 also has a much higher share of people who identify as having no religion (54.8%) and a far higher proportion of people in de facto relationships (21.8%).

Many of these gaps have widened since 2011, particularly the difference in typical household income and the number of people working from home. Despite these growing divides, the two areas remain similar in other ways. They both have the same average number of people per home and bedroom, and nearly every resident in both areas lives within a 15-minute walk of a park and public transport. They also share a similar proportion of children under 15.
