2112, NSW 2137, NSW

Postcode 2112 and postcode 2137 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct housing and demographic profiles. Postcode 2112 is more diverse and transient, with 46.4% of people born overseas and 40.9% of homes being rented. In contrast, postcode 2137 has a more settled feel; 37.0% of homes are owned outright, compared to just 25.6% in postcode 2112. Residents in postcode 2137 are also noticeably older, with a typical age of 41 and a higher share of people aged 65 and over. Access to services varies, as 80.3% of homes in postcode 2112 are within a 15-minute walk of health services, whereas only 28.8% in postcode 2137 share that convenience.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. The difference in home ownership and the age gap have both grown, and postcode 2112 has become increasingly more diverse and highly qualified. Despite these drifting trends, the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They share almost identical typical weekly incomes, the same proportion of people needing daily help, and the same 14-minute drive time to the city.
