2172, NSW 2198, NSW

Postcode 2198 and postcode 2172 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different profiles. Postcode 2172 is much wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $3,185 compared to $1,779 in postcode 2198. It also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 32.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, while the figure is 16.7% in postcode 2198. In contrast, postcode 2198 is far more accessible; it is somewhat walkable with 81.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, whereas postcode 2172 is mostly car-dependent and has no homes within that walking distance of shops.

Both areas are effectively alike in their home sizes, with an average of 3.2 people per household. While they share this basic living arrangement, the gaps in their incomes and education levels have widened since 2011. Postcode 2198 also remains more culturally diverse, though the gap in the share of people using a language other than English at home has narrowed slightly over time.
