2116, NSW 2151, NSW

Postcode 2151 and postcode 2116 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney. Postcode 2151 is much larger, with far more schools and a higher number of people earning $2,000 or more a week (14.9% compared to 11.8%). It is also more likely to have adults with a bachelor degree or higher, at 39.1% versus 32.5%. In contrast, postcode 2116 has better local walkability, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a "15-minute-city" and 99.3% within a short walk of groceries.
