2166, NSW 2168, NSW

Postcode 2166 and postcode 2168 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct characters. Postcode 2166 is a walker's paradise, where 98.6% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. It is also more culturally diverse; 60.2% of its people were born overseas, and 76.6% use another language at home. In contrast, postcode 2168 has more detached housing, with 81.3% of homes being separate houses compared to 58.6% in postcode 2166.
