2142, NSW 2144, NSW

Postcode 2144 and postcode 2142 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very high proportions of overseas-born residents. Postcode 2144 is more diverse, with 78.7% of people using a language other than English at home compared to 67.9% in postcode 2142. This is consistent with a higher share of people in postcode 2144 who speak little or no English (22.9% versus 13.3%). While postcode 2144 has far more school enrolments and larger schools, postcode 2142 has more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (29.9% versus 24.1%) and a higher rate of full-time employment.

These two neighbours share a very similar demographic profile, with both having a typical resident age of 31 and almost identical typical weekly household incomes. They also both sit far above the national figure for people born overseas. Over time, some gaps have narrowed, such as the difference in the share of people using another language at home, while others have widened, including the gap in adults with university degrees.
