2162, NSW 2163, NSW

Postcode 2162 and postcode 2163 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different profiles. Postcode 2162 is more established and better off, with a typical weekly household income of $1,404 and far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (87.3%) and health services (63.0%). In contrast, postcode 2163 has a much higher share of renters (53.9%) and a far lower typical weekly rent of $250. Postcode 2162 also serves as a major local education hub, with far more schools and an average school size of 625 students, compared to just 251 in postcode 2163.

These two areas have seen several gaps widen since 2011, particularly as the difference in typical household income grew to $411. Both areas remain very similar in other ways, such as having nearly the same share of people aged 65 and over and roughly the same percentage of full-time employees. They also share a high proportion of people born overseas, which is far above the national figure in both places.
