2101, NSW 2103, NSW

Postcode 2101 and postcode 2103 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct layouts and housing profiles. Postcode 2103 is more walkable and established, with 45.1% of homes owned outright and 69.4% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 2101 has a higher share of renters (27.3%) and more smaller homes, with 54.3% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms. Infrastructure also differs, as postcode 2103 has far more public transport departures per 1,000 people and more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services.

These two areas share very similar typical weekly household incomes, both sitting around $2,200 to $2,300. They also have nearly identical proportions of adults with a bachelor degree or higher and similar numbers of children under 15. While they share these core traits, some gaps are widening; residents in postcode 2103 have become noticeably older than those in postcode 2101, and the difference in outright home ownership has grown since 2011.
