2128, NSW 2144, NSW

Postcode 2144 and postcode 2128 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different profiles. Postcode 2144 is much more diverse, with 64.3% of people born overseas and 78.7% using another language at home, compared to 39.9% and 39.3% in postcode 2128. This diversity is reflected in a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals (31.2% versus 9.9%) and more people who speak little or no English. Postcode 2144 also has far more people who have finished Year 12 (62.7% compared to 41.3%) and a much higher share of homes without a motor vehicle (18.3% versus 4.8%).

Both areas share a similar prevalence of mental health conditions and a nearly identical rate of people who have served in the Defence Force. They also both have almost every home within a 10 minute walk of public transport. While they are similar in these ways, other gaps are shifting; the difference in the share of people born overseas has widened since 2011, while the gap in those using another language at home has narrowed.
