2125, NSW 2158, NSW

Postcode 2125 and postcode 2158 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different layouts. Postcode 2125 is more urban, with a far higher share of people using a language other than English at home (39.3%) and more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (46.8%). It is also much more connected, with 92.4% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, postcode 2158 is more spread out and car-dependent, with a typical walk to the nearest transport stop taking 49 minutes. It has a much larger number of schools and significantly higher school enrolments than postcode 2125.

Both areas are very similar when it comes to the number of people per home, which sits at about 3.0 to 3.1. This shared family-scale living is seen alongside other commonalities, such as similar unemployment rates and typical monthly home-loan payments. However, some gaps are widening; since 2011, the difference in high-income households and university qualifications has grown, with postcode 2125 pulling further ahead in both.
