2125, NSW 2151, NSW

Postcode 2151 and postcode 2125 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and lifestyle profiles. Postcode 2151 is very walkable, with 88.1% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and far more people renting (42.0%). It is a more transient place, where 40.6% of residents moved in the last five years. In contrast, postcode 2125 is dominated by large, family-sized homes, with 94.1% having three or more bedrooms and 90.8% being separate houses. It is also wealthier, with 48.3% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 27.0% in postcode 2151.

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has widened across several measures, including home ownership and income. They do share some traits, such as having about the same proportion of children under 15 and very similar commute times to the city. Both areas are also far more diverse than the national figure, with over 40% of residents born overseas and a high share of people using a language other than English at home.
