2160, NSW 2161, NSW

Postcode 2160 and postcode 2161 are two large, neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney. Postcode 2160 is more walkable, described as a walker's paradise, where 98.3% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 97.6% are near health services. In contrast, postcode 2161 is very walkable but has a higher share of separate houses at 60.6%, compared to 48.9% in postcode 2160. Postcode 2160 also has more people born overseas (49.0%) and a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (21.4%).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted apart across several measures. The gap has widened in typical weekly family income, which is now $168 higher in postcode 2160, and in the number of people working or looking for work. Despite these shifts, the areas remain very similar in other ways. Both have roughly the same proportion of people using another language at home (around 62%) and similar shares of residents who are aged 65 and over.
