2135, NSW 2138, NSW

Postcode 2135 and postcode 2138 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney. Postcode 2135 has more detached housing and larger homes, with 52.9% having three or more bedrooms compared to 36.1% in postcode 2138. It is also better served by schools and transport, with far more public transport stops and a much higher number of schools. In contrast, postcode 2138 has a higher typical weekly personal income of $1,073 against $815 in postcode 2135, and it is far more likely for people to work from home (49.3% versus 32.7%).

These two areas are tracking further apart in several ways, especially regarding work and wealth. The gap in typical weekly income has widened since 2011, as has the difference in the number of people working from home. Despite these shifting trends, the areas remain similar in other ways. Both have very high proportions of people who speak a language other than English at home, and they share nearly identical rates of volunteering and one-parent families.
