2046, NSW 2131, NSW

Postcode 2046 and postcode 2131 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Postcode 2131 is far more diverse, with 50.8% of people born overseas and 49.4% using another language at home. Postcode 2046 is wealthier, with a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (39.0% compared to 24.6%).
