Postcode comparison ≈ 5.0 km apart · 2115, NSW profile · 2121, NSW profile

2115, NSW 2121, NSW

Postcode 2121 and postcode 2115 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Postcode 2121 is more multicultural and highly educated, with 57.4% of people born overseas and 55.1% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, postcode 2115 has a higher share of separate houses (60.3%) and more three-bedroom homes (70.0%) compared to postcode 2121. Postcode 2121 also sees more people working from home (52.5%) and a larger number of recent arrivals from overseas (20.0%).

These differences have become more pronounced as the gap in overseas births has widened since 2011. Despite this, the two areas share a similar typical resident age of 37 and almost identical proportions of children under 15. Both areas are well above the national figure for households earning $3,000 or more a week, though this specific gap has narrowed slightly over time. They are also equally close to the city, with a typical drive time of 18 minutes.
