2143, NSW 2162, NSW

Postcode 2162 and postcode 2143 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different levels of local access. Postcode 2162 is more convenient for daily needs, with 87.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 63.0% near health services, compared to just 18.3% and 0.2% in postcode 2143. However, postcode 2143 has more residents with a bachelor degree or higher (24.4% versus 16.4%) and a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (20.2% versus 15.6%).

Both areas have a similar share of separate houses and sit near the national figure for those who have completed Year 12. While they share a similar feel in terms of home size and the number of people per bedroom, the gap in qualifications and income has widened since 2011. This trend is also seen in the cultural makeup of the areas, as the gap in the share of people born overseas and those using another language at home has grown over the last decade.
