2115, NSW 2138, NSW

Postcode 2138 and postcode 2115 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and professional profiles. Postcode 2138 is more densely populated and highly educated, with 53.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 31.1% in postcode 2115. It also has a much stronger international presence, with 58.4% of people born overseas and 60.4% using another language at home. In contrast, postcode 2115 is more suburban; separate houses make up 60.3% of homes there, while they account for only 23.7% of dwellings in postcode 2138.

Since 2011, the gaps in education and overseas births have widened, though the age gap has narrowed.

Both are exceptionally accessible, with almost every home within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a 15-minute walk of a park.
