2130, NSW 2131, NSW

Postcode 2131 and postcode 2130 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different profiles. Postcode 2131 is much more culturally diverse, with 50.8% of people born overseas and 49.4% using another language at home, compared to 32.3% and 26.1% in postcode 2130. Transport is also a major divider; postcode 2131 has far more public transport stops and more frequent departures. In contrast, postcode 2130 is wealthier, with a typical weekly personal income of $1,317, which is well higher than the $890 seen in postcode 2131.

Despite these diverging trends, they share many basic characteristics, such as a typical resident age of 36 and identical levels of access to parks and amenity types within a 15-minute walk. Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
