2115, NSW 2122, NSW

Postcode 2122 and postcode 2115 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different characters. Postcode 2122 is far more diverse and highly qualified, with 56.6% of people born overseas and 46.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, postcode 2115 has a higher proportion of separate houses (60.3% compared to 43.9%) and more families with children under 15. Housing in postcode 2122 is generally smaller, with far fewer three-bedroom homes than in postcode 2115.

Everyday life is similar in both places when it comes to money and work.
