2135, NSW 2141, NSW

Postcode 2141 and postcode 2135 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney. Postcode 2141 has a higher share of people who speak little or no English (22.0% compared to 9.7%) and more people who use another language at home. In contrast, postcode 2135 is more affluent, with a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (34.3% versus 21.6%) and a much larger proportion of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (43.9% versus 31.2%). Postcode 2135 also has far better access to local services, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school and 84.9% within reach of health services, compared to 71.6% and 29.8% in postcode 2141.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The gap in high weekly incomes and the number of recent overseas arrivals has widened, while the difference in the number of people who speak little or no English has also grown. However, they remain very similar in other areas; both have almost the same typical weekly rent, and the share of full-time workers is nearly identical at around 51%.
